1/4 Oz Australian Lunar III Year of the Goat 2027 Gold Coin

1/4 Oz Australian Lunar III Year of the Goat 2027 Gold Coin

Quarter-ounce gold coin 1/4 Oz (7.78 g) from the Australian Lunar III series with the Year of the Goat 2027 motif. Struck from pure gold with a fineness of 999.9/1000 Au by The Perth Mint, face value 25 AUD (legal tender in Australia). It is the most affordable entry into the lunar range while remaining a full mint issue.

Who the quarter ounce is for

A quarter ounce is the size at which price no longer stands in the way of a first purchase. It fits a budget for which a whole ounce would be too much, yet it is a genuine coin with every attribute – a face value, legal tender status and international recognition. With the lunar motif changing each year, it is a popular gift for Chinese New Year.

Bear in mind that the premium over the metal price is higher on smaller weights than on the one ounce issue – the same costs of striking, capsule and distribution are spread over a quarter of the gold. If you are buying grams above all, go for the larger coin; if you are starting out or buying a gift, the lower amount is what counts.

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.

Frequently asked questions

How much gold does the quarter ounce contain?

7.78 grams of fine gold, that is a quarter of a troy ounce. The fineness is 999.9/1000 Au.

Why is the premium higher on smaller coins?

The costs of striking, packaging and distribution are similar for small and large coins but are spread over less metal. The premium per gram therefore rises as the weight falls.

Is this gold coin exempt from VAT?

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

Does the quarter ounce make a good gift?

Yes, it is among the most frequently gifted sizes. The lunar motif changes every year, so the coin carries a specific year of issue, and the amount is more accessible than on larger issues.

Is the mintage of the quarter ounce limited?

No. The cap of 30,000 coins applies only to the one ounce issue; smaller weights are struck without a mintage limit.
