2015 Year of the Goat Silver Coins Feature Wealth and Wisdom

The Perth Mint of Australia continues its Lunar Good Fortune series with the recent release of the 2015 Year of the Goat Silver Proof Two-Coin Set.

Coins of the set are struck from one ounce of 99.9% pure silver and showcase wealth and wisdom designs. Maximum mintage for the two-coin collection is limited to 1,500. Last year’s Lunar Good Fortune two-coin set sold out with the same mintage.

Designs and Specifications

The two proof coins offer a different design in color by Perth Mint artist Tom Vaughan. The 2015 Year of the Goat Wealth Silver Coin depicts a goat standing on a statue against a background of gold coins while the 2015 Year of the Goat Wisdom Silver Coin features a goat standing on a ridge in front of the "Tree of Wisdom."

Both offer the same basic reverse inscription of 2015 YEAR OF THE GOAT and the Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mint mark. To complete the reverse, WEALTH or WISDOM appears above on the appropriate coin.

Struck as legal tender of the island nation of Tuvalu, Ian Rank-Broadley’s portrait of Queen Elizabeth II graces the obverse of each coin. Inscriptions around the effigy are QUEEN ELIZABETH II, 2015, 1 oz 999 SILVER, TUVALU and the face value of 1 DOLLAR.

Specifications for the coins include a diameter of 40.60 mm, a thickness of 4.00 mm and a minimum gross weight of 31.135 grams.
