2003 Year of the Goat
The year 2003 Goats are the eighth coins
in The Perth Mint Australian 12-coin Lunar Series. Some
Chinese Lunar Calendars call it the Year of the Sheep,
but The Perth Mint, after having thoroughly researching
the issue, chose to go with the Year of the Goat. (Still,
other sources call it the Year of the Ram, but that,
logically, is incorrect as a ram is a male sheep.)
The Lunar Series coins are .9999 fine,
which means the gold coins are 24-karat. While the silver
coins are .9999 fine, "karat" is a measure of
fineness for gold, not silver. Therefore, the .9999 fine
silver coins are not given a "karat" purity.
All Lunar Series coins come individually encapsulated in
plastic protective capsules.
The Lunar Series gold coins come in eight
sizes. The Lunar Series silver coins are minted in seven
sizes. See specifications and dimensions table for sizes.
People born in the Year of Goat are
elegant and highly accomplished in the arts. But Goat
people are often shy, pessimistic, puzzled about life,
and usually deeply religious. Although sometimes clumsy
in speech, they are always passionate about what they do
and what they believe in. Goat people also are wise,
gentle, and compassionate.
Goat people never have to worry about
having the best in life because of their abilities to
make money. They thoroughly enjoy the creature comforts
they earn. People born in the Year of the Goat are
compatible with Rabbits, Pigs, and Horses.
Other Goat Years include 2015, 1991,
1979, 1967, 1955, 1943, 1931, 1919, and 1907.
