The Perth Mint is excited to release this 1oz silver bullion coin, featuring a Chinese dragon in a unique rectangular format.
In Chinese culture, the dragon is revered as a divine mythical creature, a symbol of power, strength, wealth, and good fortune, and it is often portrayed alongside a luminous or flaming pearl. Dragons are also believed to be the rulers of water and weather.
Each coin is struck by The Perth Mint from 1oz of 99.99% pure silver and issued as legal tender under the Australian Currency Act 1965.
The Perth Mint will release no more than 500,000 of the Dragon 2018 1oz Silver Bullion Rectangular Coin.
