| Obverse description | The fourth crowned effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, designed by Ian Rank-Broadley, faces right wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland Tiara. The Queen's portrait appears in high relief against a polished field, with fine detail in the hair and regalia. The surrounding legend reads ELIZABETH II AUSTRALIA, with the weight, fineness, date, and denomination inscribed in the field. The initials IRB appear below the truncation, attributing the portrait to the engraver. |

Australia's lunar bullion series rotates through the twelve-year Chinese zodiac cycle, and the Goat issue falls in the second iteration of that program — Perth having completed a full first series between 1996 and 2007. The two-ounce format targets the upper tier of the Asian collector-investor market, where the goat year carries associations with artistic temperament and calm prosperity, a deliberate commercial calculation embedded in the product design from the outset.
The .9999 fineness is a Perth house standard achieved through their proprietary refining process, fractionally purer than the .9990 that satisfies most international bullion definitions.
