2017 Australia 1/2 oz Gold Lunar Rooster BU
Struck by the Perth Mint, this half-ounce gold coin celebrates the Year of the Rooster as part of the Australian Lunar Series II. The reverse features a stylized Chinese landscape complete with bamboo and leaves, centering on a detailed rooster. This annual design changes to reflect the rotating animals of the Chinese lunar calendar, honoring those born in years such as 1921, 1933, 1945, 1957, 1969, 1981, 1993, 2005, and 2017. The reverse also displays the traditional Chinese character for the animal, the phrase 'Year of the Rooster', and the 'P' mint mark. On the obverse, the coin carries the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Queen Elizabeth II. Surrounding the portrait are inscriptions detailing the coin's weight of 1/2 ounce, its high purity of 0.9999 fine gold, the 2017 year of issue, and its official Australian legal tender face value of 50 Dollars.
