These magnificent Australian Lunar series of gold coins epitomizes the Perth Mint's rich tradition of minting gold bullion coins portraying Chinese Lunar themes and celebrate the Year of the Goat. The reverse design of this year's release marks the 2015 Year of the Goat, one of the 12 animals associated with the ancient Chinese lunar calendar and the eighth coin in this series.
