Australia 1 dollar Lunar Calendar I Year of the Rooster gilded silver coin 2005

The 2005 Australian 1 Dollar Lunar Calendar I “Year of the Rooster” coin is a striking piece of numismatic art, crafted from pure .999 silver with elegant gilding. Issued by the Perth Mint as part of the prestigious Lunar Series I, it celebrates the Chinese zodiac sign of the Rooster, symbolizing confidence, loyalty, and hard work. The reverse of the coin features a magnificently gilded rooster with its feathers and crest highlighted in gold, standing proudly against a detailed background of stylized clouds and floral motifs. Ornamental patterns decorate the rim, while inscriptions include the year “2005,” the Chinese character for Rooster, and “1 oz 999 Silver.” On the obverse, the coin presents the iconic portrait of Queen Elizabeth II by Ian Rank-Broadley, surrounded by the inscriptions “ELIZABETH II,” “AUSTRALIA,” and the denomination “1 DOLLAR.” Struck in brilliant quality, this coin is both a collectible and a cultural tribute, combining Australian minting excellence with Eastern tradition. Its limited mintage makes it highly desirable among collectors of lunar series, gilded silver issues, and zodiac-themed coins.
