2023 Dragon 1oz .9999 Silver Bullion Rectangular Coin

The Perth Mint is excited to release this 1oz silver bullion coin featuring a dragon in a unique rectangular format.

Dragons are mythical reptilian creatures of fearsome appearance that feature in many ancient cultures. The existence of dragons remains a popular notion and they are strongly represented in contemporary fantasy. In both Eastern and Western traditions, dragons are often portrayed as guardians of gold and other treasures.

Each coin is struck by The Perth Mint from 1oz of 99.99% pure silver and issued as legal tender under the Australian Currency Act 1965.

The Perth Mint will release no more than 250,000 of the Dragon 2023 1oz Silver Bullion Rectangular Coin.

DESIGN

The coin’s reverse portrays a striking image of a dragon. In the background, the dragon’s hoard includes treasure chests and coins, as well as statues and icons from ancient civilizations. Included in the design is The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark.

The obverse bears The Queen Elizabeth II Memorial Obverse, featuring the Jody Clark effigy supplemented with the dates of Her Majesty’s reign. Also included are the coin’s weight, purity, monetary denomination and 2023 year-date
