The Perth Mint is excited to release this 1oz gold bullion coin featuring two Chinese dragons in a unique rectangular format.
In Chinese culture, the dragon is revered as a divine mythical creature, a symbol of power, strength, wealth, and good fortune, and it is often portrayed alongside a luminous or flaming pearl. Dragons are also believed to be the rulers of water and weather.
Each coin is struck by The Perth Mint from 1oz of 99.99% pure gold and issued as legal tender under the Australian Currency Act 1965.
The Perth Mint will release no more than 8,888 of the Dragon 2020 1oz Gold Bullion Rectangular Coin.
DESIGN
The coin’s reverse depicts two stylised Chinese dragons chasing a flaming pearl. The design also includes The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark.
The Jody Clark effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, the monetary denomination, 2020 year-date and the weight and fineness are depicted on the coin’s obverse.
