Description: The Australian Rectangular Silver Dragon coin debuted in 2018, first as a silver coin for sale and later in the year with a gold coin as well. The series launched with a mintage of 500,000 that has subsequently been lowered for the 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023 & 2024 releases to just 250,000 coins. In Chinese culture, the dragon is revered as a divine mythical creature, a symbol of power, strength, wealth and good fortune. Unlike the European perception of dragons as fire-breathing, winged creatures, Chinese dragons have a distinct appearance. They are portrayed as long, serpentine beings with scaled bodies, usually without wings. Chinese dragons are often depicted with a combination of features from different animals, such as the body of a serpent, the scales of a fish, the claws of an eagle, and the horns of a deer. Obverse The obverse: bears the Dan Thorne effigy of His Majesty King Charles III, as well as the coin’s weight, purity, and monetary denomination. Reverse On 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. Coin comes in a protective plastic capsule. These are bullion pieces there may be blemishes or marks this happens during the minting process.
