2009 Australia 1/10 oz Gold Lunar Ox BU (SII, Colorized)
In 2009, Australia celebrated the Year of the Ox with a remarkably detailed entry in its Lunar Series II coinage. Struck in a tenth of an ounce of extremely pure 0.9999 fine gold, this modern piece combines traditional lunar symbolism with the exceptional craftsmanship of the Perth Mint. The coin carries legal tender status, fully backed by the Australian government with a face value of 15 dollars. The reverse side presents a peaceful scene of an ox resting upon a patch of grass, shaded by delicate bamboo branches. This side also incorporates the traditional Chinese character representing the ox, alongside the distinctive 'P' mint mark of the Perth Mint. The obverse features the familiar profile of Queen Elizabeth II, as designed by Ian Rank-Broadley, surrounded by inscriptions that confirm the coin's year, weight, purity, and face value.
