A powerful symbol of prosperity and good fortune
In traditional Chinese culture, the dragon is revered as a divine and powerful creature associated with strength, wealth, wisdom and good fortune.
Chinese art frequently depicts two dragons pursuing or competing for a pearl, representing wisdom and immortality. The Year of the Dragon is considered particularly auspicious, occurring every 12 years, with 2024 marking the latest Year of the Dragon.
Striking mother-of-pearl centrepiece
The coin’s reverse showcases two intricately detailed dragons surrounded by clouds, symbolising their heavenly realm.
At the heart of the design is a precision-carved mother-of-pearl insert, featuring a three-dimensional sterling silver representation of the Chinese character for ‘dragon’. The natural lustre and unique character of mother-of-pearl create a beautiful contrast against the intricate silver design.
The reverse also features the inscription ‘YEAR OF THE DRAGON’, along with the ‘P125’ mintmark celebrating The Perth Mint’s 125th anniversary. The coin’s weight, purity and year-date are also included in the design.
The obverse features the Dan Thorne effigy of His Majesty King Charles III, together with the coin’s monetary denomination.
