{{/presale}}The coins in the Lunar Series III collection at the Perth Mint come in gold, silver, and platinum. The lunar collections from Perth have featured gold and silver coins since the 1996 debut of the Lunar Series I program, but did not gain a platinum coin until the launch of the Lunar Series III program in 2020. That latter program now enters its second year with a Year of the Ox release. Right now, you can purchase 2021 Australian Lunar Ox 1/2 oz Gold Coins online from Provident Metals.
Highlights:
Provident Metals offers you the 2021 Australian Lunar Ox 1/2 oz Gold Coin from the Perth Mint in Brilliant Uncirculated condition. These fractional-ounce gold coins are available to you for purchase in either an acrylic protective capsule for single coins or inside of sealed rolls of 20 coins from the Perth Mint.
Obverse
On the obverse side of 2021 Australian Lunar Ox 1/2 oz Gold Coins is a bust of Queen Elizabeth II. This is the sixth-generation effigy of the Queen to showcase on Australian coins. It is also the first since 1966 to include her neckline and shoulders. The Queen is shown with the George IV State Diadem Crown on her head, earrings in, and the Victorian coronation necklace around her neck resting on her shoulders. The inscriptions this field include Elizabeth II, Australia, 1/2 oz 9999 Au, and 50 Dollars.
Reverse
The reverse face of the 2021 Australian Lunar Ox 1/2 oz Gold Coin includes an image of a lone adult ox. This powerful beast is shown standing amidst bamboo stalks. The ox is a member of the bovine family and has been largely used as a draft animal performing heavy labor on farms such as towing plows or hauling carts over the course of thousands of years of human history. The inscriptions on this face of the coin read Ox 2021 and also the Chinese symbol for ox.
History
The Perth Mint issues all of the gold coins in the Lunar Series III collection, except the 1 oz coin, with an unlimited mintage. This means the Perth Mint will strike the Year of the Ox design through late 2021 when the next design in the series is ready for release.
