2027 Year of the Goat Silver Proof Three-Coin Set

According to Chinese tradition, the emperor ordered a great race between all the animals on Earth to determine who should occupy 12 positions in the lunar calendar. In pursuit of the seventh-placed horse, the gentle and determined goat travelled alongside the monkey and the rooster. As they approached the finish line, the trio worked together to cross the wide river. Leading the way, the goat reached the other side and crossed the line to claim eighth place.

Those born under the sign of the Chinese Lunar Goat in 2027, 2015, 2003, 1991, 1979 and every 12th preceding year are said to be gentle, creative, and compassionate. Known for their calm nature and resilience, they are often admired for their artistic talents and thoughtful approach to life.

The reverse of each coin depicts a mature goat, a young goat and a baby goat grazing peacefully, embodying the auspicious phrase "Three Goats Bring Bliss" and symbolising the renewal of all things and prosperous new beginnings. Featured in the design is a plum blossom tree representing purity, resilience and hope, along with the Chinese character for 'Goat', the inscription 'GOAT 2027', and The Perth Mint's 'P' mintmark.
