| Reverse description | A detailed depiction of a goat standing upon a rocky outcropping, rendered in high relief as a symbol of the Chinese lunar Year of the Goat. To the left of the central motif appears the Chinese character 羊 (Goat), while the inscriptions YEAR OF THE GOAT and the Perth Mint's mintmark P are positioned within the field. The design combines Eastern iconographic tradition with Western numismatic craftsmanship, befitting Australia's Lunar Series coinage programme. |

| Additional information |
This is the largest and heaviest coin Perth Mint produced in its 2015 Lunar Series II goat release — a one-tonne piece, in practical terms a display object rather than a tradeable bullion instrument. Perth has issued one-tonne gold coins since 2011, each year tied to the Chinese zodiac cycle, partly as a marketing exercise aimed at Asian bullion buyers and partly as a mechanism for shifting large volumes of refined gold in a single transaction. The Mint holds a Chinese Lunar coin trademark registered internationally, which underpins the commercial logic.
Legal tender denomination of AUD 30,000 is nominal; no customs or reserve authority treats these as circulating instruments.
