| Additional information |
The 2015 Year of the Goat was part of Perth Mint's Lunar Series II, which began in 2008 and committed the mint to producing a full twelve-year cycle of animal issues through 2019. At 10 kilograms of .999 silver, this is among the heaviest coins Perth produced within that series — a format reserved for the top tier of their bullion hierarchy, sitting above the 1 kg, 2 kg, and 5 kg releases issued in the same year. Mintage on the 10 kg pieces was capped in very low numbers, typically under 100 pieces globally.
