COIN INFORMATION

limited to 3 per order for the time being

The 2024 Australian Lilac Lunar Dragon Colourised 1oz Silver Coin celebrates the Year of the Dragon, the fifth of the 12 animals associated with the ancient Chinese lunar calendar. This is the ninth and last of the coloured lunar Dragon set & is limited to a mintage of only 200,000.

The silver Lunar Series series was introduced in 1999 by the Perth Mint (the Royal Australian Mint started a parallel series later) and is dedicated to the Chinese Lunar Calendar and the Chinese Zodiac. Known as Sheng Xiao or Shu Xiang, it features twelve animal signs in this order: Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Sheep, Monkey, Rooster, Dog and Pig. Boasting a history of more than 2,000 years, it plays an essential role in Chinese culture. The animals zodiac in a cycle are not only used to represent years in China, but also believed to influence people’s personalities, career, compatibility, marriage, and fortune.

This coloured one-ounce silver coin with a face value of $1 was issued as part of the Perth Mint’s Lunar Series III to mark the 2024 Chinese Year of the Dragon (10 February 2024 – 28 January 2025). It is a special edition whose design differs from the bullion coins in the series, and was issued to mark the 125th anniversary of the Perth Mint.

The obverse of each coin features an exquisitely detailed and colourised lilac dragon with a flaming pearl. The traditional Chinese character for ‘Dragon’ appears within the design, along with the inscription ‘Dragon 2024’, and the Perth Mint’s ‘P125’ mintmark to signify the Perth Mint’s 125th anniversary.

The reverse of each coin bears Jody Clark’s memorial portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, with the years of her reign shown above. The coin’s weight, fineness, and monetary denomination appear below.
