The 2021 1/10 oz Australia Gold Lunar Ox is a fractional bullion coin struck by The Perth Mint in .9999 fine gold as part of the third iteration of the iconic Australian Lunar series. Issued with legal tender status under Australian law, the coin carries a face value and bears the official effigy of Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse. It weighs one-tenth of a troy ounce, making it one of the more accessible fractional gold options within the Lunar program.
The coin is graded Brilliant Uncirculated, confirming it has been produced to a high standard of finish without evidence of wear or handling that would characterize circulation. We carry this coin as part of our broader selection of Perth Mint sovereign gold, sourced through established channels consistent with the mint's own distribution standards.
The Australian Lunar series traces its roots to 1996, when The Perth Mint launched the first Lunar series to celebrate the twelve-year cycle of the Chinese zodiac.

The coin is graded Brilliant Uncirculated, confirming it has been produced to a high standard of finish without evidence of wear or handling that would characterize circulation.

The Australian Lunar series traces its roots to 1996, when The Perth Mint launched the first Lunar series to celebrate the twelve-year cycle of the Chinese zodiac. The series quickly became one of the most recognized annual sovereign gold programs in the world, appealing to collectors drawn to its rotating designs and investors attracted to its consistent .9999 purity and government-backed status.
Series III began in 2020 with the Year of the Mouse and continues through 2031. Each release honors a different animal from the Chinese lunar calendar, with 2021 designated as the Year of the Ox. The Perth Mint has refined its production methods and design approach across each successive series, with Series III representing the current evolution of what is now a multi-decade program.
The Perth Mint itself was established in 1899 and operates as a statutory authority of the Western Australian government. It holds a well-established global reputation for precision minting, high-purity refining, and internationally recognized bullion programs. The Lunar series has become one of its flagship annual offerings alongside programs such as the Australian Kangaroo and Kookaburra.
The reverse of the 2021 Lunar Ox features a detailed depiction of an ox set within a naturalistic composition. The rendering captures the animal's strength and mass through careful engraving, with fine surface detail in the coat and musculature that reflects the high relief capabilities for which Perth Mint coins are known. The design also incorporates the Chinese character for "ox," the year of issue, the weight, purity, and denomination.
The obverse carries the Ian Rank-Broadley portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, which has served as the standard effigy on Australian legal tender coinage for several decades. The portrait is rendered in fine relief against a clean field, with surrounding inscriptions that identify the coin's denomination and issuing authority. The overall composition is balanced and precise, consistent with the minting standards applied across the full Lunar Series III program.
The coin's Brilliant Uncirculated finish gives the fields a polished, reflective quality without the frosted devices found on proof strikes. The result is a clean, sharp presentation that holds up well under close inspection, with design elements remaining crisp and well-defined across the coin's surface.
At 1/10 troy ounce, this coin sits at a weight that puts gold within reach without the capital commitment required by a full one-ounce piece. For buyers who want exposure to a premium Perth Mint program at a lower entry point, fractional gold of this type offers a practical way to own government-issued .9999 fine gold in a well-recognized format.
Fractional coins like this one also lend themselves to incremental accumulation. Buyers adding to their holdings over time often find smaller denominations useful for pacing purchases, and the 1/10 oz Lunar coin carries the same sovereign backing and purity as its larger counterparts within the same series.
Each coin in the Lunar Series III program is struck by The Perth Mint to a confirmed purity of .9999 fine gold and a stated weight of 1/10 troy ounce. The Perth Mint's long-standing reputation for precision and quality control is reflected in the consistency of its bullion output, and the coin's specifications are stamped directly on the reverse as part of the standard design.
We verify every product for authenticity and conformity to stated specifications before it is made available through our platform. Our authorized dealer status with both PCGS and NGC further reinforces our ability to evaluate and handle coins accurately, including numismatic and semi-numismatic products like those in the Lunar program.
Brilliant Uncirculated indicates the coin has been produced to a high standard and has not entered general circulation. The surfaces retain their original mint finish without the wear, contact marks, or scuffing that would result from handling or use as currency. This is the standard production grade for Perth Mint bullion coins in the Lunar series and reflects the condition in which the coin leaves the mint.
Individual coins ship in a protective plastic flip to preserve surface integrity during transit. A standard tube of ten 1/10 oz Lunar coins is the typical inner pack configuration for this format. Larger orders at the outer pack level ship in sealed boxes consistent with The Perth Mint's standard distribution packaging. The packaging reflects the coin's condition and is designed to prevent contact damage from the point of shipment through delivery.
Pricing for this coin is based on the current spot price of gold plus a premium that accounts for the coin's fractional format, mint of origin, and demand within the Lunar series collector and bullion markets. Fractional gold typically carries a higher premium per troy ounce than full-ounce pieces, reflecting the proportionally greater production cost per unit of metal.
The Perth Mint's global reputation, the Lunar series' annual release structure, and the coin's legal tender status all contribute to its premium profile. Demand tends to be consistent given the series' following among both collectors and bullion buyers, which supports pricing stability relative to lesser-known fractional products. Our pricing reflects real-time market conditions and is structured to be transparent rather than obscured by layered markups.
Perth Mint Lunar coins are widely recognized within both the collector and wholesale bullion markets. The combination of .9999 purity, legal tender status, government backing, and a well-established annual release program gives these coins a recognized identity that supports resale in a variety of trading environments. The 1/10 oz format is a standard denomination with established market recognition.
We operate a two-way market that allows customers to both purchase and sell precious metals within the same platform. Competitive buyback pricing is available for products like this one, and we believe liquidity should be a factor considered before a purchase is made, not only when it comes time to sell. Understanding the full transaction, from acquisition cost to expected resale value, gives buyers a clearer picture of ownership costs over time.
The 2021 Gold Lunar Ox combines the appeal of a government-issued, .9999 fine gold coin with a culturally significant design that draws both bullion buyers and collectors. Unlike generic fractional gold rounds, this coin carries legal tender status, a well-known mint mark, and belongs to a recognized series with an established following across international markets.
The 1/10 oz size makes it a practical choice for buyers who want to own Perth Mint gold without committing to a full-ounce price. The coin's consistent specifications, high purity, and placement within the broader Lunar Series III program also make it a natural complement to related holdings in the same series or across other Perth Mint programs.
We built this platform around transparency and honest dealing. Our pricing reflects real-time market conditions, and we display the bid/ask spread on each product page so buyers can evaluate the full cost of ownership, not just the purchase price. That level of clarity is something we consider fundamental rather than optional.
Our sourcing standards draw on established relationships with reputable mints, refineries, and distributors, and every product is verified for authenticity, weight, and purity before it reaches a customer. We hold an A rating with the Better Business Bureau, maintain memberships in the American Numismatic Association and the National Coin and Bullion Association, and are authorized dealers for both PCGS and NGC. Those credentials reflect a standard of professionalism we hold ourselves to consistently.
Our two-way market model means we are as focused on helping customers sell as we are on helping them buy. The experience is designed to be straightforward from the first purchase through any future transaction, supported by responsive customer service and a platform built around informed decision-making rather than pressure.
Bullion Standard Pro gives members direct access to live, executable wholesale bid and ask pricing on products including fractional gold coins like this one. Rather than working from estimated or indicative values, Pro members see real-time pricing that reflects actual wholesale market conditions, which means premiums and bid/ask spreads move naturally with supply and demand rather than being fixed by a standard retail structure. Portfolio holdings are valued using live wholesale bid prices, giving a more accurate picture of current liquidation value than traditional retail-based estimates.
For a product like the 1/10 oz Lunar Ox, where premium dynamics can be meaningful relative to the underlying metal value, having access to historical premium data, spread analysis, and proprietary market intelligence tools helps members evaluate the coin's pricing in context. Pro is designed to reduce information asymmetry and give buyers objective data to work with, not marketing claims.
We support a broad range of payment methods to make the purchasing process as straightforward as possible. Customers can pay using major credit cards including Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover, as well as PayPal, bank-connected payments through Plaid, wire transfer, paper check, or cryptocurrency via BitPay. Each option is processed through a secure transaction environment designed to protect buyer information and support a confident purchasing experience.
Whether you prefer the immediacy of a card transaction, the directness of a wire transfer, or the flexibility of cryptocurrency, we have built the payment infrastructure to accommodate how different buyers prefer to transact. Security and convenience are both treated as priorities, not trade-offs.
