Struck by The Perth Mint in the shape of a bar, this new rectangular dragon bullion coin is issued as an Australian legal tender with a face value of 1 dollar (Australian dollar - AUD) and is backed as a sovereign coin by the Australian Government under the Australian Currency Act 1965.
Made from 1 ounce of 99.99% pure silver, this release taps into surging interest in Asian-style design themes exemplified by the Mint’s highly successful Australian Lunar coin program.
The obverse features Jody Clark’s portrait of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II in right-profile relief with the George IV State Diadem Crown on her head. A sixth-generation design that includes her neckline and shoulders. The design was created for the Royal Mint of England in 2015. The inscriptions "Elizabeth II, Australia, 1 oz, 9999 Ag, 1 dollar and the year date" are also included.
The reverse depicts a magnificent Chinese dragon completely filling out the entire rectangular coin, along with the mint mark “P” (Perth).
Additional information:
To convey the significance of Chinese lore and legend, the designs visualize an Oriental dragon, a mythical creature revered for its benevolence. Its serpentine figure is believed to have the mysterious capacity to concede individuals their desires.
Each coin is struck with precise attention to detail for which The Perth Mint is internationally renowned. Adding to their exclusivity, rectangular Dragon bullion coins are subject to strict annual mintage restrictions with no more than 500,000 minted (2018) and 250,000 in current years.
