Ten Ounces of 2027 Gold
This is a ten troy ounce gold coin, .9999 fine, struck by the Perth Mint for 2027 as the Year of the Goat piece in Lunar Series III. Ten ounces is 311 grams of gold in a coin 61 mm across and nearly 8 mm thick. It is legal tender in Australia at 1,000 dollars, and it is the largest size in the gold series.
The Goat, Struck Large
The reverse carries Wade Robinson’s single-goat design at full scale: a long-bearded billy goat with one sweeping horn on broken ground, a windswept tree on a cliff to the right, the goat character over GOAT and 2027, and the P mintmark with WR initials at lower left. On a 61 mm coin the coat, the horn and the rock all hold fine detail. The 2027 silver Goats use a separate three-goat reverse by Natasha Muhl. The obverse is Dan Thorne’s King Charles III effigy, ringed by CHARLES III, AUSTRALIA, 10 oz 9999 Au and 1000 DOLLARS.
The Premium Thins at This Size
Be honest about how a 10 oz coin trades. The buyer pool is small at this weight, most people buying ten ounces at once care about the gold price rather than the lunar design, and you sell the whole coin in one go. That means a 10 oz Goat tends to change hands closer to its metal value than a 1 oz does, and the premium you pay over plain gold may mostly not return. It is a consolidation piece for someone who wants ten ounces in a single struck coin.
61 mm, 311 Grams, One Security Letter
This is a heavy coin: over 300 grams in a 61 mm disc that needs a large capsule and secure, private storage. It is one of the three gold Goats, with the 1 oz and 2 oz, that carry the Perth Mint’s micro-engraved letter, a mark within the reverse readable only under magnification that helps confirm the coin. Handle it flat and by the edges; a coin this size is awkward to hold and easy to knock.

10 oz Gold Goat FAQ
Why choose a 10 oz coin over ten 1 oz coins?
For fewer units to hold and, usually, a lower premium per ounce than ten separate 1 oz coins. The cost is flexibility: you cannot sell two ounces of a 10 oz coin, only the whole thing, and fewer buyers deal in this size.
Does a 10 oz gold Goat hold a collector premium?
Less than the smaller sizes. Most 10 oz gold buyers price on metal, so this size trades nearer to its gold value and the lunar premium is thinner on resale. If the design matters to you as much as the gold, a 1 oz or a fractional keeps more of that premium.
Is the mintage capped?
No. Only the 1 oz gold Goat is capped, at 30,000. The 10 oz is struck to demand, with the total declared by the Perth Mint after production ends.
Where is the micro-engraved letter on this coin?
Within the reverse design, set among the detail and readable only under magnification. The Perth Mint applies it to the 1 oz, 2 oz and 10 oz gold Goats as an anti-counterfeit check; the fractional sizes do not have it.
Can a 10 oz gold coin go in an IRA?
Yes on the metal. It is .9999 fine gold from a sovereign mint, which meets the IRA standard. A coin this large ties up a lot in one item, so check with your custodian on storage and on whether they prefer smaller units.
