The design
Designed by Natasha Muhl.
Natasha Muhl’s lunar work began with the goat in 2015, when she designed both the gold and the silver Year of the Goat coins. Telling the tale of the goat again in 2027 has been a pleasure, she says.

In the Chinese calendar
The Year of the Goat.
According to Chinese tradition, the emperor had all the animals race for the twelve places in the calendar. Behind the horse, which came seventh, the goat travelled with the monkey and the rooster. Together the three crossed a wide river; the goat led the way and came eighth. Those born in its year are believed to be calm, compassionate and creative.

The mint
A P from Perth.
The Perth Mint has been striking coins in Western Australia since 1899, at first as a branch of the Royal Mint. Its sovereigns bore a small P beneath St George and the Dragon. The mark returned in 1986, and today it appears on all of The Perth Mint’s own coins. Since 1970, the mint has belonged to the State of Western Australia.
- The character for goat
- The inscription GOAT 2027
- The P of The Perth Mint
The Perth Mint’s first Lunar Series began with the 1996 coins, the first of its kind in Australia. The third series started with the Mouse coins of 2020, and the goat is its eighth animal. The design also holds a tiny micro-engraved letter, visible only under a magnifying glass. It is meant to make the coin significantly harder to counterfeit.

"Three Goats Bring Bliss" – the design in detail
The obverse shows a fully grown goat, a young goat and a kid in a peaceful landscape. The image references the auspicious saying "Three Goats Bring Bliss" – a symbol for the end of winter, the beginning of spring and a successful new start. The scene is complemented by a plum blossom tree, which stands for purity, resilience and hope. On the value side, King Charles III is depicted in profile facing left, surrounded by the inscriptions "CHARLES III", "AUSTRALIA", "5oz 9999 Ag" and "8 DOLLARS". According to tradition, those born in the Year of the Goat – 2027, 2015, 2003, 1991, 1979 – are considered gentle, creative and compassionate.
The Lunar Series III at a glance
The third Silver Lunar edition launched in 2020 with the Mouse and has since worked its way through the zodiac year by year: Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse – and now the Goat. It is precisely this systematic approach that gives the series its appeal. Once collectors start a series, they keep collecting. The coins are issued in gold and silver, from tenth-ounce to kilo bar format, allowing gold coins and silver editions of the same year to be combined.
There is no fixed mintage limit for the 5 oz size. Production is scheduled to end at the close of 2027, after which the Perth Mint will announce the actual number of coins struck. In previous years, it was precisely the larger formats that turned out, in retrospect, to have been minted in limited numbers – a detail collectors keep in mind.
Why five ounces of all things?
- Lower premium per ounce than with smaller denominations – you get more metal per unit of minting effort.
- Visual impact: at 61.00 mm, the relief unfolds a depth that the 1 oz edition simply cannot offer.
- Convenient storage: one 5 oz coin replaces five individual pieces and saves space in the safe.
- Collector's bonus: large Lunar formats are traditionally harder to find on the secondary market than the standard 1 oz coins.
The downside of larger denominations is obvious: they cannot be divided. Those who want flexibility when trading often supplement the 5 oz Goat with smaller silver coins. Together, both form a well-balanced structure of substance and divisibility.
Silver: industrial metal and monetary metal at the same time
Silver has been minted into coins, hoarded and accepted as a means of payment for thousands of years. Unlike paper money, whose value depends on trust in governments, it carries its value within itself. There is also an industrial dimension: electronics, photovoltaics and medical technology consume the metal continuously, while supply remains geologically limited. This dual role sets silver apart from every other monetary metal.
Gold is humanity's oldest currency – silver was the everyday money for centuries. Both have outlasted every paper money system.
There is also a tax aspect: profits from the sale of physical silver are generally tax-free in Germany, provided at least one year has passed between purchase and sale. Physical metal is also liquid at any time and can be sold worldwide – an argument that carries particular weight when the goal is long-term wealth protection across generations. The 5 oz Silver Lunar III Goat 2027 combines all of this with the charm of a series that has accompanied collectors for years.
