A Symbol of Strength and Prosperity

Dragons have long held an important place in cultures around the world, although their symbolism differs greatly between East and West. In Western legends, dragons are often portrayed as fearsome winged creatures capable of breathing fire and laying waste to entire kingdoms. By contrast, the dragon of Chinese mythology is revered as a wise and benevolent being, representing strength, prosperity and harmony. Believed to govern the forces of nature, it is associated with rainfall, rivers and the heavens, while its graceful, serpentine form, flowing whiskers and finely scaled body have made it an enduring symbol of good fortune and imperial power.

Design

Struck from 99.99% pure silver in flawless proof quality, this rectangular coin showcases an intricately engraved oriental dragon in a powerful, snarling pose. Every scale has been rendered in exceptional detail, highlighting the craftsmanship of the design. The reverse also features the inscription '2026' together with The Perth Mint's renowned 'P' mintmark.

The obverse displays the Dan Thorne effigy of His Majesty King Charles III against a background of radiant lines. It also bears the inscription 'CHARLES III AUSTRALIA', along with the coin's weight, fineness and monetary denomination.

Presentation

The coin is housed in a rectangular protective acrylic capsule in a display case. Packaged within an illustrated shipper, each coin is accompanied by a numbered certificate of authenticity.
