Among collectors and bullion buyers alike, this coin is sought for its defined mintage, recognizable sovereign backing, and the refined craftsmanship associated with Australian gold issues.

…The 2021 2 oz Australia Gold Lunar Ox is a legal tender coin struck by The Perth Mint in .9999 fine gold, carrying a face value under the Australian monetary system. At two troy ounces, it occupies the upper range of the Lunar Series III lineup, combining substantial gold content with the artistic detail for which Perth Mint coins are internationally recognized. We carry this coin in Brilliant Uncirculated condition, reflecting the high production standards and careful handling applied throughout the minting process.
The Year of the Ox holds the second position in the twelve-year Chinese zodiac cycle, and the 2021 release marks one year within the third consecutive Lunar series produced by The Perth Mint. Among collectors and bullion buyers alike, this coin is sought for its defined mintage, recognizable sovereign backing, and the refined craftsmanship associated with Australian gold issues.
The Perth Mint launched its first Gold Lunar Series in 1996, establishing an annual release tied to the Chinese zodiac calendar. Each series spans twelve years, with a new animal depicted each year. Series I ran from 1996 to 2007, Series II from 2008 to 2019, and Series III began in 2020 and continues through 2031. The consistent structure of the program has created a built-in collector audience that follows the series year over year.
The Perth Mint itself has operated since 1899, originally established as a branch of the British Royal Mint to process gold from the Western Australian gold rush. Today it is a wholly owned entity of the Government of Western Australia and is widely regarded as one of the world's premier minting facilities. Its reputation for precision refining and artistic production is backed by more than a century of continuous operation, and its gold products are recognized in bullion markets globally.
The Lunar Series III introduced updated design sensibilities while retaining the format and structure that made earlier series successful. Mintage figures for larger-weight variants like the 2 oz gold are typically restricted compared to their smaller counterparts, which has historically contributed to stronger collector interest at the secondary market level.
The reverse of the 2021 coin features a detailed depiction of an ox, the central subject of the Year of the Ox. The design presents the animal with a composed, grounded stance, rendered with careful attention to musculature and surface texture. The composition incorporates traditional Chinese design elements, a Lunar-themed background, and inscriptions noting the year of issue, metal weight, and purity. A privy mark of the Perth Mint's distinctive "P" rounds out the reverse design.
The obverse carries the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II as designed by Ian Rank-Broadley, an image used across a wide range of Commonwealth coinage. The portrait is accompanied by the coin's legal tender denomination, the issuing country, and the year of issue. The overall composition reflects the formal standards applied to Australian sovereign coinage, with clean fields that emphasize both the portrait and the surrounding inscriptions.
As a Brilliant Uncirculated coin, the surface presents full mint luster without post-strike handling wear. The precision of the strike means fine details in both the ox design and the background elements are sharp and fully defined, giving the coin the visual depth that separates BU production from lower-grade or circulated material.
Each coin is struck in .9999 fine gold and produced under the quality control standards of The Perth Mint, one of the most respected sovereign minting facilities in the world. The weight, purity, and legal tender status are backed by the Government of Western Australia, providing a level of institutional verification that is uncommon outside of sovereign-issued bullion coinage. The "P" mint mark on the reverse serves as an additional identifier tied to the Perth Mint's assay standards.
Every product we carry is verified for authenticity, weight, and purity before it is listed or fulfilled. Our authorized dealer relationships with PCGS and NGC reflect the authentication standards we hold across our catalog, and our sourcing from established mints and distributors ensures that what you receive matches the specifications listed.
Brilliant Uncirculated is the standard production grade for Perth Mint bullion coinage and indicates that the coin has not entered circulation and retains its original mint luster. BU coins are struck on polished planchets and handled with care during the packaging process, but unlike Proof strikes, they are not produced with the frosted device and mirror field contrast of numismatic issues. The finish is consistent and clean across the surface.
Individual coins ship in a protective plastic flip to preserve their condition during transit. The standard tube quantity for 2 oz Perth Mint gold Lunar coins is typically 10 pieces, and orders at that quantity ship in a sealed mint tube. Larger sealed box quantities represent a full outer pack, and orders at that level ship in the sealed mint packaging. If you have questions about packaging for a specific order quantity, our team can clarify before purchase.
Pricing on the 2021 2 oz Gold Lunar Ox is anchored to the live spot price of gold, with a premium applied above that base to reflect production costs, mint licensing, and the collectible nature of the issue. Two-ounce gold coins from sovereign mints generally carry a proportionally higher premium than their one-ounce equivalents, driven by lower mintage volumes and stronger collector demand. The Lunar Series in particular has a consistent following that sustains premium levels beyond the standard bullion market.
Our pricing updates in real time to reflect current market conditions. The bid/ask spread displayed on the product page reflects the difference between the current buy and sell pricing, giving you a transparent view of the full transaction cost rather than just the acquisition price. Understanding both sides of that equation is central to how we present product pricing across our platform.
Gold coins from The Perth Mint are recognized across international bullion markets and trade with relatively consistent demand at the wholesale level. The two-ounce format is more specialized than the standard one-ounce coin, which can affect how broadly the coin is bid in the secondary market compared to higher-volume formats. That said, the Lunar Series carries strong collector recognition, and well-maintained BU examples from limited-mintage years tend to attract serious interest from both bullion buyers and series collectors.
We operate a two-way market, meaning you can sell back products within our platform using current wholesale buyback pricing. We believe liquidity is a consideration that belongs at the front of the buying decision, and our platform is structured to give you visibility into both buy and sell pricing before you commit to a purchase.
The 2021 Gold Lunar Ox combines the practical attributes of sovereign bullion coinage with the appeal of a limited-mintage collectible. At two troy ounces of .9999 fine gold, it offers meaningful gold content in a format that carries the legal tender status and institutional backing of the Australian government. For buyers who want more than standard weight-based bullion, the restricted mintage and series continuity of the Lunar program add a dimension that generic bars or rounds cannot replicate.
The Year of the Ox issue in particular benefits from its position in the zodiac cycle and from the 2021 date, which is fixed and non-recurring. For collectors building a complete Lunar Series III set, this coin is a defined piece of that progression. For bullion buyers who place value on recognizable sovereign production and refined gold content, the 2 oz format offers concentrated exposure within a well-established product family.
We have been operating as a nationally recognized precious metals marketplace since 2010, built on a straightforward principle: transparency in pricing, sourcing, and service creates better long-term outcomes for buyers. Our pricing reflects live market conditions, and the bid/ask spread on every product page gives you a complete view of the transaction rather than an isolated acquisition price. That kind of pricing structure is not the standard in this industry, and it reflects how seriously we take the buyer's full experience.
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 are credentials we maintain through consistent performance rather than marketing language. Every product we sell is verified for authenticity, weight, and purity, and we support the full transaction on both sides through competitive buyback pricing. From payment through fulfillment, the experience is designed around clarity and reliability, not pressure or complexity.
Bullion Standard Pro gives members access to live, executable wholesale bid and ask pricing on products like the 2021 2 oz Gold Lunar Ox. Rather than working from retail-level price estimates, Pro members see real-time pricing that reflects actual wholesale market conditions, including how premiums, spreads, and demand levels are moving at any given moment. For a limited-mintage coin with collector-driven premium behavior, having visibility into wholesale market pricing adds meaningful context to any buying or selling decision.
Pro also includes real-time portfolio valuation using live wholesale bid prices, proprietary market intelligence tools, and product research capabilities that allow you to compare premiums, spread tightness, and liquidity across the catalog. These tools are designed to reduce the information gap that has traditionally made it difficult to evaluate physical precious metals the same way you would evaluate other market-traded assets.
We support a wide range of payment methods to make the transaction process straightforward regardless of how you prefer to pay. Accepted methods include Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, PayPal, bank-connected payments through Plaid, wire transfer, paper check, and cryptocurrency payments through BitPay. Each option is integrated into a secure checkout process designed to protect your information and confirm your order accurately.
Whether you are purchasing a single coin or a larger quantity, the payment experience is built for reliability and ease. If you have questions about a specific payment method or want to understand how pricing is calculated at checkout, our support team is available to assist before and after the transaction.
