At a Glance
The 1/2 oz Lunar III Goat Silver Coin 2027 is struck by The Perth Mint from half a troy ounce (15.55 g) of .9999 fine silver and is Australian legal tender with a face value of 50 cents (A$0.50). It is round, 32.6 mm in diameter, with a maximum thickness of 2.90 mm and a reeded edge, in a bullion finish. One face carries Natasha Muhl's design of three goats with rocky mountains and a flowering plum branch, the Chinese character for goat, GOAT 2027 and the P mintmark; the other carries Dan Thorne's effigy of King Charles III with 1/2oz 9999 Ag and 50 CENTS. It is the eighth design in the mint's Australian Lunar Series III and the same design as the 1 oz coin. The mint sets no mintage limit on the 1/2 oz bullion coin and supplies each one in a plastic capsule.
