The 2015 Year of the Goat 2-ounce silver coin is a unique piece from the globally acclaimed Lunar II series. Issued by the renowned Perth Mint in Australia, it offers the perfect combination of collectible value and a solid investment foundation. Each coin is struck from pure 999-fine silver, making it a sought-after asset in the portfolio of any savvy investor allocating capital to precious metals.
Unique design and precision craftsmanship
The reverse of the coin features an artistic depiction of a family of goats against the backdrop of an idyllic rural landscape. The focal point is the three goats, which in the Chinese zodiac symbolize peace, harmony, and creativity. Above them is the Chinese character for “goat,” and below is the inscription “Year of the Goat.” The precision with which the details of the goat and its surroundings are rendered attests to the Perth Mint’s supreme craftsmanship. The obverse features a classic portrait of Queen Elizabeth II by Ian Rank-Broadley, along with information about the country of issue, the denomination, and the purity of the metal.
The investment potential of the Lunar II series
Choosing a 2-ounce coin is a strategic move for those seeking products with a higher content of pure silver in a single item. The Lunar II series enjoys widespread recognition, which guarantees high liquidity when reselling on international markets. The limited mintage and annual design change mean that the coin’s value often rises faster than the price of the metal itself on the markets. As a legal tender backed by the Australian government, this asset offers security and authenticity, which are crucial in the bullion sector.
