1997 Australia 1/10 oz Gold Lunar Ox BU (Series I)
1997 Australia 1/10 oz Gold Lunar Ox BU (Series I)
In 1997, Australia celebrated the Year of the Ox with a stunning gold coin that marked the second entry in the celebrated twelve-coin Lunar Series I. Struck from 1/10 ounce of exceptionally pure 0.9999 fine gold, this legal tender release carries a face value of 15 Dollars and is backed by the Australian government. Its limited mintage of just 4,960 pieces makes it a fascinating subject for those who appreciate scarce and beautifully crafted coinage. The reverse side of the coin displays an artistic depiction of an ox gazing back over its shoulder, a design created by Jovan Radanovich. This central image is accompanied by the traditional Chinese character representing the ox. On the obverse, the coin features the elegant portrait of Queen Elizabeth II designed by Raphael Maklouf. Surrounding the royal effigy are inscriptions detailing the weight, the high purity of the precious metal, the country of origin, and the face value of 15 Dollars.
