Lunar Year of the Goat
Perth Mint's Australian Lunar Series III collection continues the rich tradition of minting spectacular bullion coins by portraying animal themes from the Chinese lunar calendar. The 2027 release celebrates the Year of the Goat, the eighth animal in the Chinese zodiac. Those born under the sign of the Goat in 2027, 2015, 2003, 1991, 1979 and every 12years are said to be gentle souls with a natural gift for creativity and compassion. Their calm presence and quiet resilience make them steady anchors in challenging moments, while their artistic eye and thoughtful nature draw others to them. They tend to move through life with grace, empathy, and a deep appreciation for beauty.

History of Platinum
Historically, platinum has been the more expensive metal than gold. In fact, platinum is actually 30 times rarer than gold. Platinum is so rare that it is mined in a few deposits around the world, with South Africa making up 80% of the total reserve. Platinum is often referred to as the rich man’s gold due to its prestigious uses in jewelry. Platinum is more frequently used for industrial purposes such as catalytic converters. Today, platinum trades lower than gold, even though it is much rarer than its counterpart, which is why many investors have turned to platinum for their investment needs.
