2021 Australia 1/2 oz Silver Lunar Year of the Ox Ingot

---

This half-ounce silver bar from the Royal Australian Mint celebrates the Lunar Year of the Ox with a design rich in traditional symbolism. Struck in 0.999 fine silver, the bar features delicate willow branches on both sides, a plant chosen to represent the virtue of humility. The reverse depicts the ox itself, honoring the second animal in the Chinese zodiac, which folklore says lost the first position to the rat because of a clever trick. On the obverse, the Jody Clark portrait of Queen Elizabeth II is framed by the same graceful willow motif. The bar carries a face value of 1 Dollar, with the year 2021 and the country of origin clearly inscribed. With a limited mintage of 10,000 pieces, this Brilliant Uncirculated bar combines cultural storytelling with precise minting artistry.
