| Beschrijving keerzijde | A boldly rendered cockerel, symbolising the Chinese Year of the Rooster, stands in three-quarter profile facing right, its plumage depicted with exceptional engraved detail in the style of traditional East Asian brushwork by artist Wuon-Gean Ho. Peony-like flowers in bloom occupy the lower left and lower right of the field, framing the bird's taloned feet. The Chinese character 鷄 (Rooster) appears in the upper centre field, providing a bilingual thematic anchor to the design. The legend YEAR OF THE ROOSTER and the date 2017 are inscribed around the upper periphery, and the engraver's seal is visible at lower right. |

The Royal Mint's Lunar Series II began in 2014, following the commercial success of the first series and timed to compete directly with the Perth Mint's long-established lunar program. This 1 kg piece sits at the apex of that offering — struck in four-nines fine gold at a mintage so restricted that individual pieces were allocated rather than openly sold. The Rooster year ran from January 2017 to February 2018 in the Chinese calendar, making the timing of this issue commercially deliberate rather than incidental.
At 100 mm across, the dies required for this denomination demanded engineering tolerances beyond standard proof production.
