10 Dollars - Elizabeth II 4th Portrait - Ram's Head - Gold Proof

This piece belongs to the Royal Australian Mint's lunar-adjacent animal series rather than the better-known Perth Mint Lunar releases — a distinction collectors occasionally miss. The RAM has periodically issued its own animal-themed bullion and proof pieces running parallel to, and sometimes confused with, Perth's longer-running lunar program. The year of the Ram in the Chinese calendar fell in 2003 and next in 2015, so this 2011 issue is not a lunar year coin; the ram's head motif here reflects Australian pastoral heritage rather than the zodiac calendar.
