The Perth Mint has operated continuously since 1899, originally established as a branch of the Royal Mint of Great Britain to process gold from Western Australia's goldfields. It is now a state-owned entity of the Government of Western Australia and one of the most respected mints in the world, known for its consistently high production standards and long history of innovation in bullion coinage.
The Lunar Series II launched in 2008 and runs through 2019, completing a full 12-year cycle of the Chinese zodiac. Unlike its predecessor, Lunar Series I, the second series features refined artistic detail, consistent design language, and a broader range of weights and denominations. The Rooster, as the tenth animal in the zodiac cycle, was featured in 2017, continuing a tradition that has built a dedicated collector base around completing full sets.
Annual mintage limits are imposed on each Lunar Series II coin, creating natural scarcity relative to general bullion products. The 2-oz format in particular carries a lower mintage than smaller denominations, which contributes to its appeal among collectors tracking the full weight range of the series.
The reverse of this coin features a richly detailed depiction of a rooster rendered with striking sculptural quality. The Perth Mint's engravers captured the bird's layered plumage, proud stance, and strong profile with a level of precision consistent with the series' reputation for fine numismatic art. The design also incorporates the inscription "Year of the Rooster," the year 2017, the weight and purity designations, and the Perth Mint's distinctive "P" privy mark.
The obverse carries the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, used on Australian legal tender coinage throughout the series. The portrait is accompanied by the face value denomination and the issuing country inscription, completing the coin's legal tender framing. The coin's surface presents the mirror-like fields and finely frosted relief elements characteristic of a Brilliant Uncirculated finish, which enhances contrast between design elements and background.
Each coin in the Perth Mint's Lunar Series II is struck from .9999 fine gold, representing the highest standard purity commonly found in modern bullion coinage. The mint's production process adheres to rigorous quality controls, and each coin is individually inspected before packaging. The 2-oz format is struck to precise weight tolerances, ensuring full metal content as represented.
Every product we carry goes through verification for authenticity, weight, and purity before it reaches our customers. As authorized dealers for both PCGS and NGC, we maintain sourcing relationships that support a high standard of product integrity across our catalog. For collectors or buyers requiring third-party certification, we can facilitate grading submissions through our authorized dealer relationships with both services.
Brilliant Uncirculated denotes a coin struck for collector and bullion purposes, handled minimally from production, and free from the wear associated with circulation. Surfaces display full original luster with no contact marks introduced through use, making BU the standard expectation for a new-issue coin of this type from the Perth Mint.
Individual coins ship in a protective plastic flip to preserve surface quality during transit. The Perth Mint typically ships the 2-oz Lunar gold coin in its own presentation packaging, often including a certificate of authenticity. When ordering multiple coins, packaging format will reflect standard mint-issued packaging appropriate to the quantity. We take care to ensure coins arrive in the same condition in which they were received, with packaging intact.
Pricing for the 2017 Gold Lunar Rooster 2 oz is directly tied to the live spot price of gold, with a premium added above that baseline. At two troy ounces of .9999 gold, the intrinsic metal value is substantial, and the premium over spot reflects the coin's numismatic character, limited mintage, series collectibility, and the production quality associated with The Perth Mint.
Collector demand for completed Lunar Series II sets in multiple weights adds a layer of demand that can influence premiums beyond what is typical for standard bullion products. As with any limited-issue coin, premiums can fluctuate based on secondary market availability, collector activity, and how close a given year is to being fully absorbed into long-term collections. Our pricing reflects real-time market conditions without unnecessary complexity.
Gold coins from the Perth Mint's Lunar Series carry broad recognition among dealers, collectors, and buyers across global markets. The standardized .9999 purity and government-backed legal tender status make the 2-oz Rooster straightforwardly identifiable in resale environments. Lunar Series coins have maintained consistent demand in secondary markets, particularly as collectors seek to complete year sets across multiple denominations.
We operate a two-way market, meaning customers can both purchase and sell precious metals within our platform. Considering liquidity before making a purchase is something we actively encourage, and our buyback pricing is structured to reflect competitive wholesale market conditions rather than arbitrary dealer spreads. For a coin with the profile of the Lunar Rooster, resale channels are well-established and accessible.
The 2-oz format occupies a distinct position within the Lunar Series II lineup, offering significantly more gold content than the standard 1-oz coin while remaining more accessible than the 10-oz or kilo versions. For buyers building a weight-based set of the full Rooster year, this size fills a meaningful gap. For those focused purely on gold content, the .9999 purity and Perth Mint backing offer a strong foundation.
The thematic design tied to the Chinese zodiac gives this coin an audience well beyond traditional gold buyers. Demand from collectors focused on completing full zodiac series in multiple weights creates ongoing interest in the 2017 Rooster specifically, and the lower mintage on larger-denomination pieces supports scarcity relative to the 1-oz version. As a standalone piece, the coin holds genuine aesthetic and numismatic distinction that purely utilitarian bullion products do not.
We have spent more than a decade building a reputation in this industry on transparency, consistent pricing, and straightforward service. Our A rating with the Better Business Bureau, membership in the American Numismatic Association and the National Coin and Bullion Association, and authorized dealer status with both PCGS and NGC reflect the standards we hold ourselves to across every transaction. We do not operate as a high-pressure sales environment, and our pricing is structured to reflect real market conditions rather than inflated retail margins.
Our two-way market model means we are as committed to being a fair place to sell as we are to being a competitive place to buy. For a coin like the 2017 Gold Lunar Rooster, where both bullion value and collector appeal factor into pricing, having access to transparent bid and ask data matters. We provide that context clearly so that buyers can evaluate what they are purchasing with full awareness of current market conditions.
Bullion Standard Pro gives members access to live, executable wholesale bid and ask pricing on products like the 2017 Gold Lunar Rooster 2 oz, including real-time portfolio valuation based on current wholesale bid prices rather than estimated retail values. For a coin with both intrinsic metal content and collector-driven premium characteristics, understanding how that premium is moving relative to historical norms adds meaningful context to any buying or selling decision. Pro's historical premium analysis and spread tools make that kind of evaluation possible with objective data rather than guesswork.
Members also benefit from product research tools that allow comparison across the broader gold coin catalog, helping identify how the Lunar Rooster's current pricing and liquidity profile compares to similar products at any given moment. Pro pricing removes additional dealer markups from the equation, allowing premiums and spreads to reflect actual wholesale market conditions. For buyers who want a more complete picture of the market they are participating in, Pro is designed to provide exactly that.
We support a wide range of payment methods to make purchasing as convenient and secure as possible. Accepted options include Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, PayPal, bank-connected payments through Plaid, wire transfer, paper check, and cryptocurrency via BitPay. Each payment pathway is designed with transaction security in mind, so buyers can complete purchases with confidence regardless of their preferred method.
Whether you are purchasing a single coin or building out a larger position, the checkout process is straightforward and supported by our customer service team if any questions arise along the way. We are committed to making every step of the transaction, from browsing to delivery, as transparent and friction-free as possible.
