Where it came from
The 2017 Year of the Rooster 30 Dollar coin is part of the Australian Lunar Series II, produced by the Perth Mint. This series honors the Chinese zodiac, a tradition that has become a cornerstone of the mint's commemorative output since its inception in the mid-1990s. The release of this coin marked the tenth animal in the twelve-year zodiac cycle, reflecting the global interest in lunar-themed numismatics and the specific cultural significance of the Rooster in Chinese astrology.
The design features the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse, while the reverse depicts a rooster standing among bamboo stalks and flowers. The artistry emphasizes the traditional Chinese aesthetic, balancing detailed relief work with selective coloring to highlight the rooster's plumage. These coins were issued as legal tender in Australia, though they were primarily marketed to collectors and investors globally who favor high-purity silver and thematic cultural iconography.
