8 Dollars - Elizabeth II 4th Portrait - Year of the Goat - Silver Bullion Coin

Australia's lunar series bullion program, administered by the Perth Mint under license from the Australian government, assigns a new zodiac animal each year in a twelve-year cycle. The Goat year issue of 2015 was produced in multiple sizes simultaneously, with the 155.5g five-ounce format occupying the middle tier of a range that extended from half-ounce coins up to a one-kilogram piece. Perth limits annual mintages on these issues, and the five-ounce denomination typically sees tighter production numbers than the one-ounce equivalent — making later acquisition proportionally more difficult.

The KM#3127.1 variant designation distinguishes a privy-marked version issued for specific markets.
