1/2 Oz Australian Lunar III Year of the Goat 2027 Gold Coin

1/2 Oz Australian Lunar III Year of the Goat 2027 Gold Coin

Half-ounce gold coin 1/2 Oz (15.55 g) from the Australian Lunar III series with the Year of the Goat 2027 motif. It is struck from pure gold with a fineness of 999.9/1000 Au by The Perth Mint and carries a face value of 50 AUD (legal tender in Australia). It offers the same design and fineness as the one ounce issue at half the entry cost.

Why choose the half ounce over the full ounce

Half an ounce is a practical compromise between price and divisibility. The smaller unit makes gradual buying easier, and when you sell later you do not have to liquidate a whole ounce at once – you sell only as much as you need. For the price of one full ounce coin you get two pieces and spread your gold across more units.

Unlike the one ounce issue with its cap of 30,000 coins, the half ounce is struck without a mintage limit. Do not expect a collector premium from a capped mintage here – its value rests on the gold content and on the popularity of the lunar motif.

The reverse shows a goat on a mountain plain, the Chinese character for goat, the inscription GOAT 2027 and the P mintmark. The obverse carries the effigy of King Charles III. The coin is new and uncirculated, supplied in a protective plastic coin capsule.

No. The cap of 30,000 coins applies to the one ounce issue; the half ounce is struck without a mintage limit.

Is this gold coin exempt from VAT?

Yes. Investment gold is exempt from VAT within the EU under the statutory conditions.

What fineness and weight does the coin have?

The coin weighs half a troy ounce (15.55 g) and has a fineness of 999.9/1000 Au – it is pure investment gold.

Who is the half ounce suitable for?

For investors with a smaller budget, for buying gradually, and for anyone who wants their gold split across more pieces so it can be sold in parts later.
