We carry this coin in Brilliant Uncirculated condition, representing the standard collector and bullion grade for the Lunar Series II releases. At the half-ounce weight, it occupies an accessible price point within the broader Lunar Series lineup while retaining the same craftsmanship and fine silver content that defines the program.
The Perth Mint launched its Lunar Series II in 2008 as a successor to the original Lunar Series I, which ran from 1996 through 2007. Each year in the twelve-year cycle features a new animal from the Chinese zodiac, and the series has built a strong following among both bullion buyers and thematic collectors worldwide. The Goat year fell in 2015, making this release the eighth coin in the Series II cycle.
The Perth Mint itself has operated continuously since 1899 and holds a reputation as one of the most technically accomplished mints in the world. Originally established under the British Royal Mint system, it became a statutory authority of the Western Australian government and has since grown into a global presence in sovereign bullion and numismatic coin production. Its Lunar series coins are recognized internationally and consistently attract broad secondary market interest.
The reverse of the 2015 Goat coin features a detailed depiction of a goat in a natural setting, rendered with the fine relief and textural precision that has become characteristic of Perth Mint Lunar releases. The composition is framed with design elements referencing the lunar year and includes inscriptions noting the year of issue, the metal weight, and the .999 purity. The "P" mintmark is struck into the design as a mark of origin.
The obverse carries the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, which was the standard portrait used on Australian legal tender coinage during this period. The Queen's portrait is accompanied by the coin's face value and the inscription "Australia," completing the sovereign framing of the issue. The Brilliant Uncirculated finish allows the design detail and field clarity to come through without the flattening that can occur on circulated or less carefully handled pieces.
At half a troy ounce, this coin sits below the typical one-ounce entry point that dominates the sovereign bullion market, which makes it a practical option for buyers working within a tighter per-unit budget. The lower cost per coin also makes it easier to acquire multiple pieces without committing to a single large outlay, whether for collecting purposes or as part of a broader accumulation strategy.
Fractional silver coins from sovereign mints like Perth carry the same authentication standards and legal tender backing as their full-ounce counterparts, so the reduction in size does not compromise the product's fundamental credibility. For collectors building a complete Lunar Series II set, the half-ounce denomination offers a distinct format that complements the standard one-ounce issues.
Every 2015 Silver Lunar Goat we carry reflects the minting standards that The Perth Mint has maintained over more than a century of continuous production. The coin is struck to .999 fine silver and at a stated weight of half a troy ounce, specifications that are embedded directly in the coin's design and verifiable through standard testing methods. Perth Mint coins are widely recognized by bullion dealers, grading services, and secondary market buyers as a benchmark for consistent quality.
We are authorized dealers for both PCGS and NGC, which means that coins purchased through us are eligible for submission to either grading service should a buyer choose to have them independently certified. Our sourcing draws from reputable mints, refineries, and established wholesale distributors, and each product is verified for authenticity, weight, and purity before it reaches a customer.
Brilliant Uncirculated, or BU, indicates that the coin has not entered circulation and retains its original mint-struck surfaces. Unlike Proof or Specimen finishes, BU coins are struck using standard production dies and are not intended as presentation pieces, but they are handled with care during production and packaging to preserve surface integrity. Minor bag marks or light contact from the minting process are within the expected range for BU-grade coins and do not diminish their standing in the market.
Individual coins ship in a protective plastic flip to preserve surface condition during transit. The standard tube for Perth Mint half-ounce Lunar coins holds 20 pieces, and orders at that quantity ship in the sealed mint tube. Larger bulk orders are typically packaged in sealed boxes containing multiple tubes. Regardless of quantity, packaging is selected to minimize contact and maintain the coin in the condition in which it was received.
Pricing for this coin moves in direct relationship to the spot price of silver, with a premium added above that base to account for production costs, the Perth Mint's reputation, and the collector demand that the Lunar Series consistently attracts. Half-ounce coins generally carry a slightly higher premium per ounce than their full-ounce equivalents, reflecting the additional per-unit production cost relative to metal content.
The Goat is one of the more subdued years in terms of collector demand compared to the most popular zodiac animals like the Dragon or Horse, which can affect where premiums settle over time. That said, the Lunar Series II as a complete program remains in strong demand among set collectors, and individual annual releases can gain secondary market attention as the series approaches completion. Our pricing is updated in real time to reflect current spot conditions and wholesale market dynamics.
Perth Mint Lunar Series coins trade actively in both domestic and international secondary markets, supported by the mint's global recognition and the consistent quality of its production. The .999 fine silver content and sovereign issuance make the coin verifiable and widely accepted among dealers and private buyers. Half-ounce fractional silver from a recognized sovereign mint tends to trade with reasonable efficiency, though liquidity is generally strongest for full-ounce pieces.
We operate a two-way market that supports both purchases and buybacks within the same platform, which means you do not need to find an external buyer when you decide to sell. Evaluating the bid/ask spread on a product before buying gives a clearer picture of the full cost of ownership and what resale looks like under current market conditions. That transparency is built into how we present each product.
The Lunar Series II from The Perth Mint has earned its standing as one of the most consistently produced and widely followed thematic silver coin programs in the world. The Goat issue holds a defined place in that twelve-year set, and collectors building a complete series have a clear reason to seek out each annual release. Even buyers without a collecting focus benefit from the standardized weight, confirmed purity, and sovereign mint backing that define every coin in the program.
The half-ounce format is a practical choice for buyers who want sovereign-quality silver without the outlay of a full ounce, and it offers a distinct denomination for those who already hold the one-ounce Goat release. The combination of Perth Mint craftsmanship, Chinese zodiac thematic appeal, and recognizable format gives this coin a clear identity in the market.
We have operated as a trusted precious metals dealer since 2010 and have built our reputation on consistent pricing transparency, reliable fulfillment, and a customer experience that emphasizes informed decision-making over pressure. Our A rating with the Better Business Bureau reflects a sustained commitment to those standards across every transaction. We are members of both the American Numismatic Association and the National Coin and Bullion Association, and our authorized dealer relationships with PCGS and NGC provide our customers with direct access to professional grading services when needed.
Our two-way market structure means we are equally focused on your ability to sell as we are on your initial purchase. We believe liquidity should be understood before a purchase is made, and our platform is built to make that information accessible upfront. Every step of the buying experience, from pricing to payment to delivery, is designed around clarity and long-term trust rather than a one-time transaction.
Bullion Standard Pro gives members access to live, executable wholesale bid and ask pricing on products like the 2015 Silver Lunar Goat, providing direct visibility into how this coin is priced at the wholesale level in real time. Rather than relying on static retail pricing, Pro members can see actual market conditions as they shift, including how premiums and bid/ask spreads on fractional Lunar coins respond to changes in spot prices and collector demand. Portfolio holdings are valued using current executable wholesale bid pricing, giving a more accurate view of liquidation value than estimated retail figures.
The platform also includes proprietary research tools that allow members to compare the Lunar Goat against other silver coins across metrics like premium history, spread tightness, and relative liquidity. For collectors or buyers holding multiple positions across the Lunar Series or broader silver coin market, these tools support more objective product evaluation and help identify where value and trading efficiency are strongest under current market conditions.
We support a broad range of payment methods to make the purchasing process as straightforward and secure as possible. Customers can pay using Visa, Mastercard, American Express, or Discover, as well as PayPal, bank-connected payments through Plaid, wire transfer, or paper check. Cryptocurrency payments are accepted through BitPay for buyers who prefer digital currency transactions.
Every payment method is integrated with security protocols designed to protect your transaction at each step. Whether you are making a single purchase or managing a larger order, our checkout process is built to be efficient, transparent, and backed by responsive customer support throughout.
