The Perth Mint’s Lunar Coin I series debuted in 1999, igniting zeal from much of the coin collecting community. Although the full Chinese zodiac cycle lasts 12 years, the second Lunar Coin collection began in 2008 to align with the consecutive cycle, creating overlap between the first and second collections for two years. Today, the Perth Mint has finished those collections and began the third Lunar Series with the 2020 Year of the Mouse/Rat. The series now carries on with the 2021 Year of the Ox coins to celebrate the second animal in the twelve-year cycle. Superstition dictates those born under this sign tend to be passionate, pragmatic, and stubborn, kind, and trustworthy.

The reverse of the 1/10 oz gold coin showcases a mighty ox listening to a sound mid-stride. The powerful animal raises its head, striking a powerful pose. Bamboo foliage surrounds the ox.
