Year of the Ox 2021 | AUD2 Australia | 2oz Fine Silver Coin

This distinguished 2021 commemorative release honors the Year of the Ox as part of the Australian Lunar Series III. Deeply rooted in Chinese tradition, the ox is revered for its ability to inspire compassion, intelligence, and unwavering reliability in those born under its influence—including individuals born in 2021, 2009, 1997, 1985, and 1973.

Struck by The Perth Mint from 2 oz (62.2069g) of 99.99% pure silver, this coin features a sophisticated antique finish that tones the silver’s natural luster to mimic the appearance of a storied ancient artifact. The reverse, designed by Ing Ing Jong, depicts an ox and its calf in a serene village setting, complete with a cherry tree and a soaring pheasant. Issued as Australian legal tender, the obverse bears the Jody Clark effigy of H.M. Queen Elizabeth II. With a strictly limited mintage of just 1,888 pieces, this coin is a rare and artistic tribute to the lunar zodiac.
