The 2009 Perth Mint Gold Lunar Ox is a one troy ounce, .9999 fine gold coin issued as part of the Australian Lunar Series II program. Struck by The Perth Mint and bearing a face value guaranteed by the Australian government, it represents one of the most recognized annual releases in the world of sovereign gold coinage. Each coin in this series commemorates a specific year in the Chinese lunar calendar, with 2009 designated as the Year of the Ox.
We carry this coin in Brilliant Uncirculated condition, reflecting the high-quality production standards The Perth Mint applies across its bullion releases. Its combination of government-backed issuance, pure gold content, and distinctive annual design makes it a well-established product among collectors and buyers of fine gold coins.
The Australian Lunar Series II launched in 2008 as the successor to the original Lunar Series I, which ran from 1996 through 2007.

The Australian Lunar Series II launched in 2008 as the successor to the original Lunar Series I, which ran from 1996 through 2007. The Perth Mint designed Series II to offer updated imagery and refined artistic execution while retaining the same annual lunar calendar structure that made the first series popular. The Ox is the second release in Series II, following the 2008 Year of the Mouse.
The Perth Mint has operated continuously since 1899 and is wholly owned by the Government of Western Australia. It is one of the most technically advanced minting facilities in the world and has a long history of producing gold coins and bars that meet the highest international standards. The Lunar series in particular has established a loyal following due to its changing designs, limited annual production, and consistently high strike quality.
In Chinese culture, the Ox is associated with diligence, dependability, and strength. These themes are reflected in the way The Perth Mint approaches the coin's design each year, treating the subject with care rather than producing a generic commemorative image.
The reverse of the 2009 Lunar Ox features a detailed depiction of an ox rendered with fine engraving and strong relief. The composition incorporates the Chinese character for "Ox," along with inscriptions indicating the year of issue, the coin's gold purity of .9999, and its one ounce weight. The overall design reflects the artistic tradition The Perth Mint brings to each Lunar release, with careful attention to proportion and surface detail.
The obverse features the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, which was the standard portrait used on Australian coins during this period. It includes the Queen's name, the coin's face value in Australian dollars, and the country of issue. The portrait is rendered in high relief and sits cleanly against a smooth field, consistent with The Perth Mint's production quality across its sovereign coin range.
As a Brilliant Uncirculated coin, the surfaces display the bright, clean finish characteristic of coins struck with fresh dies and handled with care during production. There is no evidence of circulation wear, and the coin's detail remains sharp and well-defined.
Every 2009 Gold Lunar Ox we offer is struck by The Perth Mint to exacting standards, with a guaranteed weight of one troy ounce and purity of .9999 fine gold. The Perth Mint's reputation and the Australian government's backing provide a high baseline of confidence in these specifications without requiring third-party certification on individual coins.
We are authorized dealers for both PCGS and NGC, which means coins requiring professional grading or certification can be handled through those channels when needed. For Brilliant Uncirculated examples sourced directly through established distribution channels, the mint's own production standards serve as the primary quality benchmark.
Brilliant Uncirculated, often abbreviated BU, indicates that the coin has not been placed into circulation and retains the finish applied at the time of striking. BU coins display no wear but may show minor contact marks or bag marks consistent with normal handling during the minting and packaging process. These characteristics are expected and do not affect the coin's metal content or its designation.
Individual coins ship in a protective plastic flip. The standard tube for the 2009 Gold Lunar Ox holds 10 coins, and larger quantities are typically packaged in a sealed box. Packaging at each quantity level is intended to maintain the condition of the coin through transit and storage.
Pricing for the 2009 Gold Lunar Ox is based on the current spot price of gold, with a premium applied above that base. The premium reflects the cost of production at one of the world's premier minting facilities, the government-backed issuance, and the collector appeal associated with the Lunar series format. Annual design changes and the relatively contained mintage of individual Lunar issues can also influence how premiums behave over time.
Our pricing is updated in real time to reflect current market conditions. We structure premiums to be transparent and consistent, and the bid/ask spread displayed on the product page gives buyers a clear view of both the acquisition cost and the current resale context before committing to a purchase.
The Australian Gold Lunar series is widely recognized across the global precious metals market. The Perth Mint's reputation, combined with the coin's government-backed face value, standardized one ounce weight, and .9999 purity, supports consistent recognition in resale and trade environments. Lunar coins also carry collector interest beyond the standard bullion audience, which can contribute to market activity on individual issues.
We operate a two-way market, meaning customers can both purchase and sell coins within the same platform using competitive buyback pricing. Liquidity is a factor worth evaluating before any purchase, and we provide the pricing data and spread transparency necessary to make that assessment clearly.
The 2009 Gold Lunar Ox occupies a specific place in the Lunar Series II program that cannot be replicated by subsequent releases. Each year's coin is distinct, and the Ox design is the only one of its kind within the twelve-year cycle. For buyers seeking a one ounce gold coin with a defined production year, government backing, and design that carries both numismatic and cultural significance, it represents a specific and concrete option rather than a generic bullion purchase.
The Perth Mint's production quality is consistently among the highest in the industry, and the .9999 fine gold standard it applies to the Lunar series exceeds the purity threshold of many comparable sovereign gold coins. The combination of recognized origin, precise specifications, and distinctive subject matter makes this coin straightforward to identify and evaluate in any market context.
We built this platform around the principle that buyers deserve clear information, honest pricing, and a straightforward transaction process at every step. Our pricing reflects real-time market conditions, and we display the bid/ask spread on each product page so customers can evaluate both the purchase price and the resale context before deciding. There are no hidden markups or pressure-based tactics.
Every product we sell is verified for authenticity, weight, and purity, and we source from established mints, refineries, and distributors with documented track records. We hold an A rating with the Better Business Bureau and maintain active memberships in the American Numismatic Association and the National Coin and Bullion Association. As authorized dealers for PCGS and NGC, we are also positioned to support customers who want professional grading services for significant pieces.
Our two-way market model means we support customers on both sides of the transaction. Whether you are purchasing for the first time or looking to sell a position you already hold, the same platform, pricing transparency, and responsive support apply throughout the process.
Bullion Standard Pro gives members access to live, executable wholesale bid and ask pricing across a broad range of gold products, including the Australian Lunar series. Rather than relying on estimated retail prices, Pro members can see how the 2009 Gold Lunar Ox is currently priced at the wholesale level, track how premiums and spreads evolve over time, and use proprietary market intelligence tools to evaluate this coin relative to comparable gold products in the catalog.
Portfolio valuation through Pro is based on live wholesale bid pricing rather than estimated retail values, giving members a more realistic picture of their holdings at any given moment. For buyers who want more than a standard product listing, Pro provides the data infrastructure to evaluate this coin and others using objective, transparent market information rather than assumptions or marketing claims.
We support a wide range of payment methods to make the buying process straightforward and secure. Customers can pay using Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, PayPal, bank-connected payments through Plaid, wire transfer, paper check, or cryptocurrency through BitPay. Each method is supported by secure transaction infrastructure, and we are committed to protecting customer information throughout the payment process.
The flexibility to choose a preferred payment method means the purchasing experience can be adapted to individual preferences without sacrificing security or convenience. Whichever method you select, the same commitment to order accuracy, reliable fulfillment, and responsive support applies from the moment the transaction is confirmed.
