Year of the Ox 1oz Silver Coin – Perth Mint
The 2021 Year of the Ox 1oz Silver Coin from the The Perth Mint is part of the highly sought-after Lunar Series III collection, celebrating the ancient Chinese zodiac through exceptional Australian minting craftsmanship.
Struck from 1oz of .9999 fine silver and issued as Australian legal tender with a face value of $1 AUD, this beautifully designed bullion coin combines investment-grade precious metal with strong collector appeal.
First launched in 1999, the Australian Lunar Series honours the twelve animals of the Chinese zodiac cycle: Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog and Pig. Deeply rooted in Chinese culture and tradition for more than 2,000 years, each zodiac animal is believed to influence the personality and destiny of those born under its sign.
The 2021 release celebrates the Year of the Ox, which ran from 12 February 2021 to 31 January 2022. According to Chinese tradition, people born in the Years of 1949, 1961, 1973, 1985, 1997, 2009 and 2021 are said to embody the Ox’s dependable, determined and hardworking nature.
The coin’s design draws inspiration from the legendary Great Race of the Chinese zodiac, where the generous Ox carried the Rat across a river, only for the clever Rat to leap ahead at the finish line and claim first place. This enduring story has become an important symbol within Chinese folklore and astrology.
Highly regarded for its limited mintage, annual changing designs and globally recognised purity, the 2021 Year of the Ox Silver Coin remains a popular choice among both bullion investors and Lunar Series collectors.
