Mintage limited to 7,500 coins!
Meticulously struck from 99.9% pure Silver in High Relief Proof quality, this beautiful Silver coin features a traditional Chinese dragon, a “pearl of wisdom” and the Chinese character for “dragon” gracing the reverse. The Ian Rank-Broadley likeness of Queen Elizabeth Ii and the $1 (AUD) denomination are shown on the obverse.

This impressive coin is produced in high relief, meaning the design is raised much higher from the coin’s surface than on normal strike coins. This treatment along with the coin’s Proof finish offers unparalleled detail and beauty, making this Silver treasure a must-have. This Silver Year of the Dragon coin comes in the original box with the certificate of authenticity from the Perth Mint.
