New Zealand Mint is releasing four beautiful Lunar coins to celebrate the Year of the Goat 2015.
The Goat is the eighth animal in the twelve year Zodiac cycle. Symbolising such character traits as creativity, intelligence, dependability, and calmness, those born during the Year of the Goat love to dream and ponder. Those born during this Lunar Year are often quiet of personality and very fond of nature.
Reverse Design
This coin face features a relief engraved Goat of a contemporary style, set against a detailed background illustrating the global community of cultures in which we live. To the left of the design, the gold gilded Chinese character for Goat is set against a proof quality background.
Obverse Design
This features the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
