Australia 1 dollar Year of The Goat Lunar Series I proof silver coin 2003

The Australia 1 Dollar Lunar Series I Year of the Goat silver coin 2003 is a refined release from the Perth Mint’s first Lunar program, dedicated to the eighth sign of the Chinese zodiac. Struck in .999 fine silver to proof quality, it honors the Goat — a symbol of peace, harmony, and creativity in Chinese tradition. The reverse presents an elegant design of an adult goat standing protectively beside its young on a rocky slope. Every detail, from the textured horns to the delicate posture of the kid, reflects the Perth Mint’s artistry. Around the animals flows a decorative oriental border, while to the left appears the year 2003, to the right the Chinese character for “Goat,” and below the inscription 1 oz 999 SILVER with the “P” mintmark.

The obverse features Ian Rank-Broadley’s effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, crowned and facing right. Surrounding inscriptions include: ELIZABETH II – AUSTRALIA – 1 DOLLAR.

This issue is part of the highly acclaimed Lunar Series I (1999–2010), which remains one of the most sought-after zodiac collections worldwide. With its proof finish, symbolic design, and limited mintage, the Year of the Goat 2003 coin is a prized acquisition for numismatists and investors alike.
