Product Details

The 2005 half-ounce Australian Gold Lunar Rooster coin, part of the esteemed Lunar Series II, offers both collectors and investors a striking example of fine craftsmanship and cultural heritage. Celebrating the Year of the Rooster, this exquisite coin features a design inspired by the rich traditions of the Chinese zodiac. Struck from .9999 fine gold, its brilliant uncirculated condition highlights the superior quality expected from the Perth Mint, renowned for its exquisite attention to detail and innovative minting techniques. This Gold Lunar coin not only reflects the high purity and artistic excellence synonymous with Australian minting but also stands out as a piece of both aesthetic and historical significance.

At the heart of this coin is the majestic rooster, a symbol of confidence, punctuality, and ambition. Its intricate design captures the vibrant and poised nature of the rooster, rendered with a finesse that appeals to both traditional enthusiasts and modern investors. On the reverse, an effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II adds regal elegance and authenticity, underscoring the coin's status as official Australian legal tender. This blend of cultural symbolism and royal acknowledgment positions the Gold Lunar Rooster as a treasured addition to any collection.

The Perth Mint's commitment to craftsmanship is evident in the precision and care devoted to each coin. From its meticulous engraving to its mirror-like finish, the half-ounce gold coin exemplifies artistry in precious metals. Furthermore, the design's cultural resonance makes it a compelling choice for those seeking a unique investment that carries the weight of heritage. The rooster’s depiction not only embodies the traits associated with this zodiac sign but also connects the coin to a broader narrative of prosperity and diligence.

Gold, a timeless asset, has long held a significant position in investment portfolios worldwide. The 2005 release sees the continuation of a beloved series integral to the modern numismatic landscape. Its half-ounce size provides an accessible entry point for both seasoned investors and those new to precious metal acquisitions. As part of the Lunar Series II, this coin enjoys a highly regarded place among collectors, known for its limited mintage and consistent appreciation in value over time.

The 2005 Gold Lunar Rooster is as much a historical piece as it is a viable option for hedging against economic uncertainty. Its standing as legal tender, combined with the artistry of its design, ensures it retains both its financial and cultural value, serving as both a protective asset and a potential legacy piece.

Bullion Standard out of all the companies I researched offer the best spots and prices. My only complaint is I wish I had found this company a long time ago as it would have saved me a lot of money. They offer a wide selection for all your bullion needs. Items are packed with great care and shipping is fast. I highly recommend Bullion Standard for all your bullion needs and quit getting ripped offer by the " big guys" . I also recommend enrollment in Pro for the awesome extra savings on your purchases.

I am a great fan of Bullion Standard and have highly recommend this company for the spots and prices of all items. All items were well packed and shipping was quick. I had one issue with processing a purchase online and have been helped by customer service. Another time I paid the higher price since purchase was after hours...my lack of patience sometimes. All items I have purchased had the best prices out of dozens of companies I researched. I could not be more pleased even with a couple of bumps along the road. The quality, quantity and selection is great though if I had one request is that you offered 5 oz silver bars!!
