The 2027 Lunar gold coin marks the Year of the Goat according to the Chinese Lunar calendar. It continues the Rwanda Lunar series, which began in 2017 with the Year of the Rooster issue. Each year, the series features one of the twelve animals of the Chinese Zodiac, making these coins a consistent thematic collection.
The reverse of the coin depicts a goat formed from geometric, mosaic-like elements. The modern composition is complemented by the Chinese character for the Year of the Goat, and the inscriptions Lunar Year of the Goat, 2027, 1/12 oz and Fine Gold 999. The stylized image of the animal is one of the main design features of the Rwanda Lunar series.
The obverse features the official coat of arms of Rwanda, the names of the National Bank of Rwanda and the state, and the country's motto Unity, Work, Patriotism. The lower part shows the nominal value of 100 Rwandan francs. The coin is issued on behalf of Rwanda and has the status of an official means of payment.
The coin is minted from 999 fine gold. It contains 1/12 Troy ounce, or approximately 2.59 g, of pure gold. The mintage quality is Brilliant Uncirculated. This compact format provides an opportunity to add a small weight gold coin to your Lunar-themed collection.
Due to its small mintage, gold composition, and popular Chinese Zodiac theme, the coin is suitable for collectors of Rwandan coins, Lunar series, and small format gold publications.
The 2027 1/12 oz gold coin mintage is announced at 888 pieces.
The high gold purity, one troy ounce of pure gold and the extremely small mintage make the coin both an investment and a collector's item. It is suitable for collections of Rwandan coins, Chinese Zodiac themed coins and limited edition gold issues.
