The obverse of the Lunar gold coins features a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, reflecting Australia’s status as a Commonwealth nation. This choice symbolizes Australia’s sovereignty and its connection to the United Kingdom, as is the case for all Australian currency. The reverse, however, changes each year to depict the animal associated with that year’s Chinese zodiac, with a finely engraved design showcasing the Perth Mint’s artistic expertise. This contrast between the consistent obverse and evolving reverse highlights the blend of tradition and innovation that characterizes this series.
The Perth Mint, known for its creativity and attention to detail, produces these coins in pure 99.99% gold, ensuring exceptional quality. Each coin's design is meticulously crafted to capture the essence of the represented animal, with polished and matte finishes that emphasize the finest details. Each coin is a tribute to the craftsmanship of the Perth Mint, combining cultural tradition and technical excellence.
