Description
Introducing the exquisite 2024 1oz Blue Australia Lunar Series III - Year of the Dragon - Blue Dragon .9999 Silver Coloured BU Coin, exclusively available as the Perth Stamp and Coin Show Special. This limited-edition coin is a true collector's delight and a must-have for coin enthusiasts and those fascinated by Chinese culture.
In Chinese tradition, the dragon holds a position of utmost reverence, symbolizing wisdom, enlightenment, and benevolence. It has been associated with emperors and their descendants for centuries. As one of the 12 animals in the lunar calendar, the dragon represents individuals born in 2024, 2012, 2000, 1988, 1976, and every 12th preceding year, known for their ambition, success, and charisma.
Meticulously struck by The Perth Mint from 1oz of 99.99% pure silver, this coin is not only a stunning work of art but also holds legal tender status under the Australian Currency Act 1965. With a maximum mintage of just 200,000, and limited to only 5,000 coins for the Perth Stamp and Coin Show, its rarity and exclusivity make it a highly sought-after piece.
The reverse of the coin features a vibrant colored Chinese dragon, accompanied by a flaming pearl, symbolizing wisdom. The design showcases the Chinese character for 'dragon,' the inscription 'DRAGON 2024,' and the 'P125' mintmark, commemorating the Perth Mint's 125th anniversary. On the obverse side, you'll find the Jody Clark Memorial depiction of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, along with the dates of her reign, weight, fineness, and monetary denomination.
