The 2017 Australian Gold Lunar Rooster is a one troy ounce coin struck in .9999 fine gold by The Perth Mint as part of its highly regarded Lunar Series II program. Issued under Australian legal tender status with a face value of $100 AUD, it represents the Year of the Rooster in the twelve-year Chinese zodiac cycle that defines the series. We carry this coin in Brilliant Uncirculated condition, graded to reflect a freshly minted piece that has not been circulated.
The Perth Mint is recognized globally as one of the premier government-owned mints, and its Lunar gold coins are among the most collected annual releases in the bullion market. This particular coin combines high-purity gold content with a culturally significant design program that draws consistent demand from both collectors and bullion buyers.
The Perth Mint launched its Lunar Series II program in 2008, building on the success of the original Lunar Series I that ran from 1996 to 2007. The second series retained the Chinese zodiac framework while introducing entirely new designs, updated compositions, and expanded size offerings. Eac

The Perth Mint is recognized globally as one of the premier government-owned mints, and its Lunar gold coins are among the most collected annual releases in the bullion market. This particular coin combines high-purity gold content with a culturally significant design program that draws consistent demand from both collectors and bullion buyers.
The Perth Mint launched its Lunar Series II program in 2008, building on the success of the original Lunar Series I that ran from 1996 to 2007. The second series retained the Chinese zodiac framework while introducing entirely new designs, updated compositions, and expanded size offerings. Each year in the twelve-year cycle features a distinct design, with the Rooster appearing in 2017 as the tenth release of the series.
The Perth Mint itself was established in 1899 as the last of three Australian colonial mints and has operated continuously ever since, making it one of the longest-running mints in the world. Its reputation for precision manufacturing, consistent quality, and innovative coin design has made it a trusted source for sovereign-issued bullion across global markets. The Lunar Series II in particular has built a strong secondary market following, with complete series collections commanding meaningful collector premiums.
The reverse of the 2017 Lunar Rooster features a detailed, naturalistic depiction of a rooster in a dynamic stance, surrounded by ornate design elements that reflect traditional Chinese artistic sensibility. The composition is executed with deep relief, giving the rooster figure a sculptural quality that catches light across the coin's surface. The year of issue, weight, purity, and metal content are inscribed into the design field without disrupting the central imagery.
The obverse carries the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, which appeared on Australian coins throughout this era as part of the Commonwealth portrait rotation. The portrait is accompanied by the legal tender denomination and the name of the issuing country, rendered with the precision typical of Perth Mint production. Together, both sides reflect the mint's standard of refined craftsmanship that has become synonymous with the Lunar series.
Each coin in this release is struck from .9999 fine gold, meeting one of the highest purity standards in the bullion market. The Perth Mint applies rigorous production controls throughout its minting process, and coins issued under its Lunar program carry both the mint's mark and clearly stamped specifications that allow for straightforward verification. The "P" mint mark on the coin serves as a direct identifier of Perth Mint origin.
We verify the authenticity, weight, and purity of the products we handle before they reach our customers. Our authorized dealer relationships with PCGS and NGC further support customers who wish to have coins independently graded or authenticated by a third party. These industry certifications add an additional layer of confidence for buyers who prioritize documented provenance alongside metal content.
Brilliant Uncirculated condition means this coin was struck for collector and bullion purposes, handled minimally after production, and shows no signs of circulation wear. Surface quality should reflect the mint's standards at the time of striking, with full luster and sharp detail across both the obverse and reverse. BU coins are not certified by a grading service, but they represent the standard new-release condition for this product.
Individual coins ship in protective plastic flips to preserve their condition during transit. The Perth Mint packages these one-ounce gold Lunar coins in tubes of ten, which ship as a sealed tube when that quantity is ordered. Larger orders corresponding to a full sealed box follow the Perth Mint's standard outer pack configuration. Regardless of the order size, packaging is designed to keep coins protected and presentation-ready upon delivery.
Like all gold bullion coins, the price of the 2017 Lunar Rooster is closely tied to the current spot price of gold, with a premium applied above that base price. The premium reflects the added cost of minting, the Perth Mint's internationally recognized quality, and the sustained collector demand that accompanies the Lunar Series II program. Because this is a dated release from a completed series year, availability on the secondary market can be less predictable than current-year issues, which can influence premiums beyond standard mint-related factors.
Our pricing reflects real-time market conditions and is structured to provide clarity. The bid/ask spread displayed on our product pages evolves alongside market conditions, giving buyers a clear picture of both the acquisition cost and the current resale value before committing to a purchase.
The 2017 Australian Gold Lunar Rooster carries strong recognition across global bullion markets. Its one-ounce weight, .9999 purity, and Perth Mint origin make it straightforward to evaluate and trade within both wholesale and retail dealer networks. The Lunar Series II as a whole maintains an active secondary market, particularly among collectors building complete sets, which supports consistent demand beyond standard spot-based transactions.
We operate a two-way market that allows customers to both purchase and sell within the same platform. Considering liquidity before a purchase is made, not only at the point of sale, is central to how we think about the buying experience. Our competitive buyback pricing reflects current market conditions and is designed to give customers a realistic view of where this coin sits in the broader market at any given time.
For buyers seeking a one-ounce gold coin that combines high-purity metal content with genuine collector appeal, the 2017 Lunar Rooster stands out. Unlike generic bullion products, the Lunar Series II carries a design program that accumulates cultural and numismatic value alongside its gold content. Collectors completing the twelve-year cycle create sustained demand for individual years, and the Rooster year specifically attracts interest from buyers connected to the zodiac symbolism.
The coin's legal tender status under Australian law, its Perth Mint origin, and its .9999 fine gold composition make it broadly accepted in resale environments worldwide. For buyers who want gold content paired with a product that carries more than purely intrinsic metal appeal, the Lunar Rooster offers a compelling combination in a widely recognized format.
We have built our reputation on transparent pricing, consistent product authentication, and a buying experience that puts the customer first. Our pricing is driven by real-time market data rather than fixed retail structures, and our two-way marketplace means you can evaluate both the purchase and the potential resale from the same platform before making any decision. That kind of pricing clarity is something we take seriously at every stage of the transaction.
We hold an A rating with the Better Business Bureau and maintain active memberships in both the American Numismatic Association and the National Coin and Bullion Association. Our authorized dealer status with PCGS and NGC gives customers access to professional grading and certification if they want additional authentication for a coin like this. Every product we handle is verified for authenticity, weight, and purity, and our customer support team is available to assist throughout the buying and selling process. We aim to make every part of the experience straightforward, reliable, and built for the long term.
Bullion Standard Pro members access live, executable wholesale bid and ask pricing on products including the 2017 Lunar Rooster, giving them direct visibility into how this coin is priced at the wholesale level. Rather than relying on estimated retail values, Pro members can evaluate the real-time spread between buying and selling prices and track how that spread shifts with changes in market conditions, demand, and availability. For a dated release like this one, understanding how premiums have moved historically can be particularly useful context when assessing current market pricing.
Pro also provides real-time portfolio valuation based on live wholesale bid prices, along with proprietary product research tools that allow you to compare premiums, spread tightness, and liquidity metrics across the broader catalog. These tools are designed to give you objective, data-driven information rather than marketing impressions, which is especially relevant when evaluating secondary market coins where pricing can vary more widely than current-year releases.
We support a broad range of payment methods to make purchasing straightforward and secure. Customers can pay using Visa, Mastercard, American Express, or Discover, as well as PayPal, bank-connected payments through Plaid, wire transfer, paper check, or cryptocurrency through BitPay. Each payment method is integrated with the same secure transaction framework that underpins every order we process.
Whether you prefer the convenience of a credit card, the directness of a bank transfer, or the flexibility of digital currency, we have structured our payment options to accommodate a wide range of preferences without compromising on transaction security or order reliability.
