Dragon 2026 1oz Gold Proof Rectangular Coin

The Coin Company is proud to present the Dragon 2026 1oz Gold Proof Rectangular Coin by The Perth Mint.

The dragon is a legendary reptilian creature steeped in cultural significance. In Western folklore it is portrayed as a winged beast that unleashes a destructive flame. In Chinese mythology, the dragon is revered as a majestic, serpentine creature embodying strength, wisdom, and prosperity. It is celebrated as a guardian of the natural world, believed to command rain, rivers, and the heavens. Often depicted with flowing whiskers, scaled bodies, and a noble presence, the Eastern dragon symbolises potent power, harmony, and abundant good fortune, serving as a timeless emblem of imperial authority.                      

This carefully crafted 99.99% pure gold proof quality rectangular coin features a meticulously detailed depiction of an oriental dragon, snarling with its body adorned with finely detailed scales. The design incorporates the inscription '2026’ and The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark.               

The obverse bears the Dan Thorne effigy of His Majesty King Charles III. It features radiant lines in the background, along with the inscription “CHARLES III AUSTRALIA”, and the coin’s weight, purity, and monetary denomination.
