2027 King Charles III 'Lunar Year of the Sheep / Goat' 999.9 1oz Gold Proof Coin

We have celebrated the Chinese zodiac since 2014, releasing new additions to The Shēngxiào Collection every year. Each coin fuses British craftsmanship with ancient Chinese traditions, ensuring the heritage and history behind this practice is evident in each design. This year marks a special moment in the lunar calendar as the Goat appears only once every 12 years—offering a unique opportunity to celebrate an important Chinese tradition.

The 2027 Lunar Launch: Year of the Goat (Official Mint Title: "Sheep")Goat (1931, 1943, 1955, 1967, 1979, 1991, 2003, 2015, 2027)

While the Royal Mint officially brands this release as the Year of the Sheep for the UK retail market, traditional Chinese astrology recognises 2027 as the true Year of the Goat. Those born under the Chinese Zodiac sign of the Goat enjoy being alone in their thoughts. They’re creative, thinkers, wanderers, unorganised, high-strung and insecure, and can be anxiety-ridden. They need lots of love, support and reassurance. Appearance is important too. Compatible with Pig or Rabbit.
