Obverse
In the obverse of the 1997 Australian Gold Lunar Ox Coin, you will find a depiction of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II. Designed in 1985 by Raphael Maklouf, this timeless effigy of the Queen captures her figure in right-profile relief wearing the George IV State Diadem Crown.
Reverse
For the reverse face of 1997 1 oz Gold Lunar Ox Coin, you will find an image of the ox. Created specifically for this release, the ox is shown in left-profile relief with a muscular frame and its head raised as it looks back over its shoulders.
History
The Year of the Ox is the second in the 12-year cycle of the Chinese Lunar Calendar. According to Chinese mythology, the ox was the second to arrive at a race of the worlds animals to meet with the Jade Emperor. The ox would have been first if not for the crafty mouse that hitched a ride on its shoulders across a raging river.
