* Lucky $8 Coin *
These magnificent silver coins celebrate the Year of the Goat, the eighth animal in the 12-year cycle of the Chinese zodiac.
In Chinese culture, people born in the Year of the Goat - 1907, 1919, 1931, 1943, 1955, 1967, 1979, 1991, 2003 and 2015 are regarded as elegant, charming, artistic, gifted and calm.
Each coin’s reverse depicts a family of goats standing in a stylised rural scene. The Chinese character for ‘goat’ and the inscription ‘Year of the Goat’ also appear in the design with The Perth Mint’s traditional ‘P’ mintmark.
The Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, the 2015 year-date and the monetary denomination are shown on the obverse of each coin.
