Pièce 1 once d'argent Lunaire Année de la Chèvre 2015 | Monnaie de Perth

For 2015, the Perth Mint's internationally renowned Australian Lunar Silver Coin Series II celebrated the Year of the Goat, the eighth animal in the 12-year cycle of the Chinese zodiac.

These superb quality releases are perfect for people born in "goat" years - 1943, 1955, 1967, 1979, 1991, 2003 and in 2015 - who are regarded as mild mannered, pessimistic, shy and sympathetic. Personality traits like creativity, dependability, calmness and intelligence help to make them very charming to be with.

The reverse of each coin depicts three goats in a field, one grazing.

ABOUT THE PERTH MINT

The Perth Mint opened in 1899 as the British Royal Mint's 3rd branch in Australia. The historical Hay Street location handled gold refining until moving to a modern facility in April 1990. Ownership of the mint was transferred to the Government of Western Australia in July of 1970. Under an agreement with the Commonwealth Treasury, they were empowered to mint and market gold, silver, and platinum as Australian legal tender to investors and collectors worldwide. Today, they are amongst the elite world mints whose pure gold, silver, and platinum items are trusted without question. Items such as the Australian Nugget, Silver Coin Series (Kangaroo, Kookaburra, Koala, and Platypus to name a few), as well as the Australian Lunar Gold and Silver Coin Series are extensively sought after by bullion investors worldwide.
