In the depths of Australia's vast and mystical landscapes, where ancient stories whisper through the eucalyptus leaves, the legend of the dragon reigns supreme. As the sun rises, casting a golden hue over the rugged outback, a mystical force stirs in the air - a herald of the coming Year of the Dragon. The Australia 2024 Lunar Series III - Year of the Dragon 99.99% Coloured and Gilded Silver Coin 1/2oz Ten-coin Set captures this ethereal moment, each coin a masterpiece of 99.99% fine silver, adorned with art that breathes life into the ancient Chinese symbol of wisdom, benevolence, and prosperity. Historically linked to emperors, the dragon is a mighty guardian of water and weather, its power ensuring the lands below thrive and yield. This collection not only honours those born under the auspicious sign of the dragon, celebrated for their ambition and charisma, but it also stands as a tribute to the enduring legacy of one of civilisation's oldest and most powerful symbols.
Each coin in this exquisite set features a unique portrayal of dragons, vividly coloured to bring out the distinctive attributes associated with the mythical creature. The reverses of the first nine coins display a vibrant array of dragons, each intertwined with the mythical flaming pearl, symbolising the pursuit of wisdom and the dragon's dominion over water. The tenth coin in the set is entirely coated in fine gold, showcasing a formidable dragon facing forward with water dynamically cascading from its mouth, highlighting its power and authority. Each coin is marked with the Chinese character for "Dragon"(龍), the inscription “DRAGON” and “2024”, and the 'P125' mintmark to celebrate the Perth Mint's 125th anniversary, making this set a remarkable collector's item and a spectacular display of numismatic artistry. The coin's obverse features the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II; surrounding her effigy displays the inscriptions "QUEEN ELIZABETH II" and the Queen's reign 1952-2022, the coin's weight, purity, metal content, face value, and country of issue.
