The Perth Mint has been striking the Lunar Coin program since before 2000. Although the first series began after the start of the 12-year Chinese zodiac cycle, these coins have been well-received every year. The Lunar II Series started in 2008 because the zodiac cycle begins with the Year of the Rat. Now, the Perth Mint is working on the Lunar III Cycle which began with the 2020 Year of the Mouse/Rat Coins and continues this year with the 2021 Year of the Ox coins. Arriving in gold, silver, and platinum editions, these coins celebrate 2021 as the Year of the Ox. Those born under this sign are superstitiously characterized as conservative, logical, passionate, and kind. While the Gold Year of the Ox coin will make a great gift for any zodiac enthusiast, this 1/2 oz coin offers you a unique piece that will help you diversify with gold. Its renowned name, high purity, and wonderful design also make this coin a great pick for any gold investor.
The obverse of this 1/2 oz gold coin contains the famous portrait of Queen Elizabeth II as captured by Jody Clark. The inscriptions on this side include the Queen’s name and the coin’s country, denomination, weight, and purity. The reverse of the 1/2 oz gold coin features the ox, standing tall as it seemingly listens to something nearby. Bamboo foliage surrounds the ox on all sides.
