Those born under the sign of the Chinese lunar Dragon 2024, 2012, 2000, 1988, 1976 and every 12th preceding year are said to be ambitious, successful, and charismatic.

Issued as Australian legal tender, the uncirculated aluminium bronze coin is housed in a beautifully designed card with a circular window revealing the coin's reverse and obverse designs.

DESIGN

The coin's reverse portrays a dragon with water cascading from its mouth, stylised waves, and a flaming pearl, a symbol of wisdom. Included in the design is the Chinese character for 'dragon', the inscription 'DRAGON 2024' and a 'P125' mintmark signifying the Perth Mint's 125th anniversary.

The coin bears the Jody Clark Memorial Obverse of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II supplemented with the dates of her reign '1952-2022', and the monetary denomination.

Affixed to the envelope are official Australia Post $1.20 and $3.60 stamps. The stamps are postmarked for the first day of issue and the envelope includes Australia Post's Seal of Authenticity.
