1kg Perth Mint Silver Lunar (2024) Year of the Dragon Coin

Meticulously crafted from 1 kilo of 99.99% pure silver, this coin from the Australian Lunar Series III – 2024 Year of the Dragon celebrates the fifth animal of the lunar zodiac.

Each animal of the lunar zodiac is said to bestow its dominant characteristics on those born during its rule. The fifth of 12 animals in the calendar, the dragon bestows bravery, ambition, intelligence, and good fortune on those born under its influence in 1952, 1964, 1976, 1988, 2000, 2012 and 2024.

DESIGN: 

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.

AUTHENTICATION FEATURE: 

For additional peace of mind, this 1 kilo coin incorporates an authentication feature in the form of a micro-laser engraved letter. Detectable under a magnifying glass, it is designed to make it significantly more difficult for the coin to be counterfeited.

PRESENTATION:

Each bullion coin is presented in a protective acrylic capsule.
