Founded in 1896 as a branch to the British Royal Mint, Perth Mint today is one of the largest minting plants globally, owned by the Western Australian government. Manufacturer of the iconic ‘Kangaroo’ gold and silver investment coins, Perth Mint also produce a popular lunar series and a range of sought-after collector coins.
With a record of sell outs, this annual bar-shaped investment coin struck from 1oz of 99.99% pure gold portrays a striking design of a mythical beast that has been feared and revered for millennia.
The dragon is a fabled reptilian creature that has been popular in many cultures since antiquity. In Western folklore it is portrayed as a malevolent winged beast that breathes fire. In the Eastern tradition, however, the serpentine-shaped dragon is a benevolent symbol of power and good fortune.
DESIGN:
The reverse portrays an oriental dragon eyeing a flaming pearl, a symbol of wisdom. The background includes representations of water over which the dragon has control, and clouds, omens of good luck. The design also incorporates the inscription '2024’, which in lunar mythology is the Year of the Dragon, and a ‘P125’ mintmark signifying The Perth Mint’s 125th anniversary.
The coin’s obverse portrays the Dan Thorne effigy of His Majesty King Charles III, and the monetary denomination.
PRESENTATION:
The Dragon 2024 1oz Gold Rectangular Bullion Coin is housed in a protective acrylic capsule.
