2024 Year of the Dragon 1/2oz Silver Coloured Cased
The dragon commands the highest respect in Chinese culture. For thousands of years, it was associated with the emperor and his descendants, symbolising wisdom, enlightenment, and benevolence. The dragon is also one of the 12 animals featured in the ancient lunar calendar. Those born under the sign of the lunar dragon in 2024, 2012, 2000, 1988, 1976, and every 12th preceding year, are said to be ambitious, successful, and charismatic.
The coloured reverse of each coin depicts a serpentine-shaped dragon and a flaming pearl, a symbol of wisdom. The artistry includes references to the dragon's control of the elements with stylised waves and water cascading from its mouth. The design includes the inscription 'DRAGON 2024', the Chinese character for 'dragon' and the Perth Mint's 'P125' mintmark signifying the Perth Mint's 125th anniversary in 2024.
Limited to an issue of 200,000, the majority of the coloured specimen coins were sold wholesale to overseas distributors, each sealed in an acrylic capsule. Austrralia Post was given exclusive rights to distribute 5,000 coins in Australia, each housed encapsulated, in a black acrylic presentation case with a clear lid, protected in a themed cardboard shipper and accompanied by a numbered certificate of authenticity.
