2021 Australia $1 1-oz Silver Lunar Year of the Ox Gilded BU

Australia’s 2021 Lunar Coin Pays Tribute to the Powerful Ox

Persistent, stubborn, honest, moody and quick-tempered — these are traits embodied by the Ox, a domesticated animal that has toiled in the fields of China for centuries. Seemingly able to endure almost anything, they seldom fear any hardships or difficulty. And, as a symbol of spring and fertility the ox is revered among the animals of China’s lunar calendar. And now it’s the theme for the second release in Australia’s Lunar Series III program that celebrates animals in the Chinese zodiac.

Chinese Culture Inspires Bucolic Design

Struck in a full ounce of 99.99% pure silver, the 2021 Australia Lunar Year of the Ox Silver Coin depicts an ox with its calf while in the background a bucolic village can be seen nestled at the foot of a mountain range. Above the ox is the Chinese symbol for “Ox” and the branch of blossoming cherry tree, a symbol of feminine beauty and love in Chinese culture. The design is made even more fantastic thanks to the Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) finish that features razor-sharp details that are as fresh and crisp as they day the coin left the mint. You can even see the famous “P” mint mark just to the right of the mother ox!

Spectacular 24-Karat Gold Gilding

These coins are further augmented by the addition of selective 24-karat gold gilding. Smoothly spread evenly across the Ox and her calf, the startling contrast between the gleaming silver and the brilliant gold creates a piece that stands out among other coins. Each coin will come in its original government packaging from the mint consisting of a classic display case with a clear lid decorated with a silver geometric design. The case has an illustrated shipper showing the story of how the ox became an animal of the zodiac and is accompanied by a numbered Certificate of Authenticity.
