In 2021, The Perth Mint’s internationally renowned Australian Lunar Silver Proof Coin Series III celebrates the Year of the Ox, the second animal in the 12-year cycle of the Chinese zodiac.

The birth dates for people ruled by the Chinese Lunar Ox include 1937, 1949, 1961, 1973, 1985, 1997, 2009 and 2021. Those born under the influence of this sign are said to be honest, loyal, sincere and generous, with a calm temperament.

The reverse of the coin depicts an Ox with child walking under the cherry branch. The Chinese character for ‘Ox’ and the inscription ‘Year of the Ox’ also appear in the design with The Perth Mint’s traditional ‘P’ mintmark.

The Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, the 2021 year-date, and the monetary denomination are shown on each coin’s obverse.

Each individual coin and three-coin set is housed in a stylish red and black presentation case and themed shipper, accompanied by a numbered Certificate of Authenticity.
