Historical Context: The 2017 Australian 100 Dollar Year of the Rooster gold bullion coin was issued during the reign of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, featuring her fourth definitive portrait. This coin is a significant entry in the Australian Lunar Series, which began in 1996, celebrating the animals of the Chinese zodiac. As legal tender from Australia, it highlights the nation's strong numismatic tradition and its Commonwealth ties, appealing to both the global bullion market and collectors.
Artistry: The obverse features the acclaimed Fourth Portrait of Queen Elizabeth II by Ian Rank-Broadley, a dignified effigy used across Commonwealth coinage. The reverse, designed by a Perth Mint artist, showcases a dynamic and detailed rendition of a rooster. This animal is a prominent symbol of punctuality and bravery in Chinese culture. The stylistic approach is modern naturalism, capturing the bird's plumage and spirited pose with remarkable fidelity, characteristic of the Lunar Series' intricate designs.
Technical/Grading: Struck from .9999 pure gold, weighing 31.1035 grams, this bullion coin typically exhibits exceptional strike quality. Key high-points on the obverse include the Queen's hair above the ear and crown details. On the reverse, the rooster's comb, wattle, and individual tail feathers are critical for assessing strike sharpness. Collectors anticipate a brilliant uncirculated finish, characterized by full, vibrant luster and crisp details, with minimal surface imperfections essential for its appeal.
