Australian Lunar Series III 2024 Year of the Dragon 1oz Silver Proof Coin

The Coin Company is proud to present Australian Lunar Series III  2024 Year of the Dragon 1oz Silver Proof Coin, produced by the Perth Mint. 

The dragon commands the highest respect in Chinese culture. For thousands of years, it was associated with the emperor and his descendants, symbolising wisdom, enlightenment, and benevolence. The dragon was also said to command water and rain, and by ensuring abundant harvests became a powerful symbol of wealth and good fortune. 

The coin’s reverse portrays a dragon with water cascading from its mouth, stylised waves, and a flaming pearl, a symbol of wisdom. Included in the design is the Chinese character for ‘dragon’, the inscription ‘DRAGON 2024’ and a ‘P125’ mintmark signifying The Perth Mint’s 125th anniversary.

The coin bears the Jody Clark Memorial Obverse of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II supplemented with the dates of her reign ‘1952-2022’, as well as the weight and fineness, and the monetary denomination. 

Australian Lunar Series III  2024 Year of the Dragon 1oz Silver Proof Coin has a limited mintage of 5,000 coins.
