The family grouping reflects themes of harmony, unity and prosperity often associated with the Goat in Chinese culture. Also featured in the design are the Chinese character for "Goat", the inscription "Year of the Goat", and The Perth Mint's traditional design elements that have made the Lunar Series II collection so popular among collectors worldwide.

The obverse bears the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, together with the coin's weight, purity, denomination and year of issue.

According to Chinese tradition, the Goat occupies the eighth position in the lunar zodiac and is associated with creativity, kindness, compassion and tranquillity.
