Five Ounces of the 2027 Lunar Goat
The 2027 5 oz Silver Perth Mint Lunar Year of the Goat is the coin to own if you want the Goat design with real presence. At five troy ounces of .9999 fine silver and 61 mm across, it dwarfs the 1 oz version and shows off the artwork in a way the smaller sizes simply cannot. For stackers and collectors who want one standout piece rather than a stack of small coins, this is it.
Every coin ships Brilliant Uncirculated, sealed in a protective capsule to keep that fresh mint finish exactly the way it left the Perth Mint.
A One-Year-Only Design
The reverse, designed by Perth Mint artist Natasha Muhl, features the Goat for 2027 and will never be struck again after this year. The Goat is the eighth animal in the Chinese zodiac and stands for calm, kindness, and quiet prosperity, which makes this coin a meaningful gift for anyone born under the sign, including those born in 2015, 2003, 1991, 1979, and 1967. The obverse carries the Jody Clark and Dan Thorne effigy of King Charles III, along with the coin’s weight, purity, and $8 AUD legal tender face value.
Struck by the Perth Mint
The Perth Mint is one of the most respected sovereign mints in the world, and it guarantees the weight and purity of every coin it strikes. This release also carries a micro-engraved security feature worked into the reverse, visible only under magnification, which helps you and future buyers verify the coin is the genuine article. That combination of trusted minting and built-in anti-counterfeit tech is a big part of why Perth Mint Lunar coins hold such strong demand on the secondary market.
Why Buyers Choose the 5 oz
You get maximum design impact, real weight in the hand, and a lower premium per ounce than the fractional sizes usually carry. It anchors a Lunar Series III set, it is .9999 fine and IRA-eligible, and it is the kind of coin people actually take out to show off. Order protected and ready for display or storage.
Frequently Asked Questions About the 2027 5 oz Silver Lunar Goat
How much silver is in this coin?
Five full troy ounces of .9999 fine silver, with a gross weight of about 155.5 grams. It is one of the most silver you can own in a single Perth Mint Lunar coin short of the kilo.
Is there a mintage limit?
There is no set mintage cap on the 5 oz. The Perth Mint strikes it to demand and closes production at the end of 2027, then declares the official final mintage. The design itself is retired after 2027 either way, so it is never made again.
Can I put this in a precious metals IRA?
Yes. It is .9999 fine silver in Brilliant Uncirculated condition, which meets both the IRS fineness standard and the condition requirements custodians look for. If you want it for an IRA, reach out and we will help you route it to your custodian.
What is the micro-engraved security feature?
The Perth Mint works a tiny letter into the reverse design that is only visible under magnification. It is a built-in anti-counterfeit measure that lets you confirm the coin is genuine.
Will the Goat design be made again?
No. The Perth Mint retires each Lunar design after its one year, so the 2027 Goat is only struck in 2027. Next year moves on to the following zodiac animal.
