1997 Year of the Ox - 1/20 oz Gold Coin
1997 Year of the Ox The 1997 Ox Lunar coin is the second coin in The Perth Mint's Lunar Series. The obverse of the 1997 coin carries the effigy of a young Queen Elizabeth, the third official likeness of the Queen released by Buckingham Palace during her reign. The same effigy graces the obverses of the 1996 Mouse and the 1998 Tiger. In 1999, Australia adopted a more mature image of the Queen, one that Buckingham Palace had released in late 1997. This change resulted in the first three coins in the Lunar Series (the Mouse, the Ox, and the Tiger) carrying a young version of Queen Elizabeth, while the remaining nine coins carry a mature likeness. Production of the one-ounce Gold Oxs will be limited to 30,000, as is the case for all the one-ounce gold coins of the Lunar Series. All the gold coins in the Lunar Series are minted of .9999 fine gold, and each coin comes individually encapsulated in plastic protective capsules.

The popularity of the Lunar Series is growing, as evidenced by the year 2000 one-ounce Gold Dragons and the year 2002 one-ounce Gold Horses having reached their 30,000-coin production limits.
