Obverse: Features an effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II

For 2017, the Perth Mint's internationally renowned Australian Lunar Gold Coin Series II features the Year of the Rooster, the tenth animal in the 12-year cycle of the Chinese zodiac.

These superb quality releases are perfect for people born in "rooster" years - 1945, 1957, 1969, 1981, 1993, 2005 and 2017. They are regarded as hardworking, confident and courageous. Roosters are talkative and like to be the centre of attention.

The reverse of each coin depicts a rooster crowing, surrounded by bamboo shoots and leaves. The Chinese character for "rooster" and the inscription "Year of the Rooster" also appear in the design along with The Perth Mint's traditional "P" mintmark, the year and weight. As well as appealing to gold coin collectors, these outstanding releases also make great gifts for people born in any year "ruled" by the Chinese lunar rooster.

ABOUT THE PERTH MINT

The Perth Mint opened in 1899 as the British Royal Mint's 3rd branch in Australia. The historical Hay Street location handled gold refining until moving to a modern facility in April 1990. Ownership of the mint was transferred to the Government of Western Australia in July of 1970. Under an agreement with the Commonwealth Treasury, they were empowered to mint and market gold, silver, and platinum as Australian legal tender to investors and collectors worldwide. Today, they are amongst the elite world mints whose pure gold, silver, and platinum items are trusted without question. Items such as the Australian Nugget, Silver Coin Series (Kangaroo, Kookaburra, Koala, and Platypus to name a few), as well as the Australian Lunar Gold and Silver Coin Series are extensively sought after by bullion investors worldwide.
