Each of the coins in the Lunar Series II program represents a different animal and birth year in the Chinese Lunar Calendar. The Year of the Rooster represents those born in 2017, and every 12th year going backward in time. Those born under its sign are said to be honest and loyal, as well as hard working.
Lunar Series II coins from the Perth Mint are available in both gold and silver, with bullion and proof versions available to attract investors and collectors alike. The 2017 1 oz Australian Gold Rooster Coin represents the most commonly sought-after weight in the series.
The reverse of each 2017 1 oz Australian Gold Rooster Coin features the image of a singular rooster. Unlike the silver coins, which bear a grouping of a rooster, hen, and three chicks, the 2017 Australian Gold Rooster features just one tall, proud rooster on the reverse.
On the obverse is the right-profile portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. Created in 1998 by Ian Rank-Broadley, this image represents the fourth-generation depiction of Her Majesty since her ascension to the English throne in 1952. Though no longer in use on British coinage, commonwealth states such as Australia still use the 1998 image.
Each 2017 1 oz Australian Gold Rooster listed here is a Brilliant Uncirculated specimen. These bullion coins, and others in BU condition, show no signs of wear and tear. However, you may notice minor flaws such as breaks in the luster, spotted surfaces, or contact marks from the coining process.
Perth Mint was formerly part of the British Royal Mint system, which included a Sydney Mint and Melbourne Mint location as well. Following the closure of those latter facilities, the Perth Mint remained as the nation’s oldest operating facility. Today it is a state-owned entity of Western Australia and operates separate of the Royal Australian Mint in Canberra.
