2015 is the Chinese Year of the Goat. In Chinese culture, the goat has long been regarded as a symbol for auspiciousness, good luck and peace. The Chinese character for “auspiciousness”(“祥”)was in fact derived from the character for goat(“羊”).To celebrate this lucky Year of the Goat, the famous Royal Mint has proudly issued the “Hong Kong Year of the Goat Gold Proof Medals” in limited worldwide edition! Sequels to the first yellow gold lunar medal series of the HKSAR, these medals showcase the intrinsic nobleness and splendor of pure yellow gold!
