The 2027 $5 Year of the Goat Silver Proof Coin marks the eighth year in the twelve-year Chinese zodiac cycle, with a reverse design featuring a goat set against persimmons, symbolising prosperity and good fortune. An ornate rendering of the lunar calendar borders the King's effigy on the obverse. A coin that suits both dedicated Lunar collectors and gift-giving.

According to legend, twelve animals raced across a river to determine the order of the zodiac. The Goat placed eighth, having worked with the Monkey and the Rooster to cross together on a raft.

Those born under the Goat sign are traditionally considered creative and compassionate. International Goats include Bill Gates, Carlos Alcaraz, Norah Jones and Ed Sheeran; well-known Australian Goats include Nicole Kidman and Tina Arena.
