Lunar Year of the Goat

 

 

LUNAR GOLD COIN 2003 (YEAR OF THE GOAT)

The Chinese lunar calendar today is used by many for Taoist cosmology. It is believed that, depending on the year of the zodiac when a person is born, a special relationship exists between the person’s personality and the animal that constitutes part of the Chinese zodiac. The animals in the zodiac are supposed to be of symbolic nature, where each animal is a representation of a specific group of characteristics and traits that can be found in every human being. There are 12 animals in the Chinese zodiac, each of them being celebrated once every 12 years. The year of the goat was last celebrated in 2003. Those born in the year of the goat are said to be gentle, compassionate and most often calm. The foundation of this story is rooted in the belief that when Buddha was ready to ascend to heaven, he asked every animal to bid him farewell and only 12 appeared. These 12 are the ones we honor on the Chinese calendar. The Gold Perth’s Lunar Series is a gorgeous collection of gold coins that feature every animal from the Chinese Lunar Calendar.The Perth Mint introduced Australian Lunar Year of the Goat gold coins for the first time in 2003 and subsequently issued the coins again in 2015.
