2005 1 oz Year of the Rooster Gold Coin - Lunar Series I

The 2005 1 oz Year of the Rooster Gold Coin - Lunar Series I is one of the most sought-after releases from the original Australian Lunar Series, widely respected for its low mintages, changing yearly designs, and exceptional gold purity. Struck by the renowned Perth Mint, this coin represents the tenth release in the highly collectible Lunar Series I program, which ran from 1996 to 2007.

Celebrating the Year of the Rooster in the Chinese zodiac, this coin carries both cultural symbolism and strong numismatic appeal. With a limited mintage of just 19,729 coins in the 1 oz format, it stands as one of the scarcer issues in the series, making it especially desirable among collectors completing Lunar Series I sets.

Coin Highlights

  • Contains 1 troy oz of .9999 fine gold
  • Struck in 2005 by the Perth Mint
  • Tenth release in the Lunar Series I collection
  • Legal tender with a face value of 100 Australian Dollars
  • Backed by the Australian government for weight and purity
  • Typically offered in Brilliant Uncirculated condition
  • Dates and packaging may vary based on available inventory

The Design

The obverse features the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, along with inscriptions denoting the coin’s face value and issuing nation. This classic portrait reflects Australia’s status as part of the Commonwealth and is a standard element across Perth Mint coinage of the era.

On the reverse, the coin showcases a detailed depiction of a rooster standing proudly atop a rock, crowing toward the rising sun. The design is complemented by the Chinese character for “rooster,” along with inscriptions noting the coin’s weight and purity. This imagery reflects the traits traditionally associated with those born in the Year of the Rooster, including confidence, diligence, and leadership.
