2027 $100 Year of The Goat 1oz Gold Proof Domed Coin

The reverse design depicts a goat against a backdrop of persimmons, which symbolise prosperity and good fortune. Meanwhile, an ornate representation of the lunar calendar borders the King's effigy on the coin's obverse. The Goat is the eighth of the twelve signs in the Chinese zodiac. According to legend, twelve animals participated in a race across a river to allow the Jade Emperor to establish the order of the zodiac signs. The Goat finished in eighth place, followed by the Monkey and the Rooster; the three animals had worked together to cross the river on a raft.
