Dragon rectangular 2024 | 1oz silver | Australia

With a record of sell outs, this annual bar-shaped investment coin struck from 1oz of 99.99% pure silver portrays a striking design of a mythical beast that has been feared and revered for millennia.
 
The dragon is a fabled reptilian creature that has been popular in many cultures since antiquity. In Western folklore it is portrayed as a malevolent winged beast that breathes fire. In the Eastern tradition, however, the serpentine-shaped dragon is a benevolent symbol of power and good fortune.
 
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.
