2024 1/10 oz Gold Colored Dragon Coin - Lunar Series III
Enhancing its successful Lunar Series III, the Australian Perth Mint added colored gold coins featuring the Year of the Dragon as the motif.
The Gold Lunar Series III is inspired by the Chinese Lunar Calendar. Each year, a new Astrological sign is depicted on the series' varied-sized silver and gold coins, according to that year's ascending sign.
Since 2024 is the Year of the Dragon, all the series' coins feature alluring dragon designs. In addition, the 2024 edition brings the “P125” mint mark, celebrating the 125th anniversary of the Perth Mint.
This coin, in particular, weighs 1/10 Troy oz of 99.99% pure gold and features the Blue Dragon.

The Dragon design features this mystic creature imprinted in blue tones, with a twisted body, long tails, and sharp paws, surrounded by lighter blue waves and fog.
It also features the Dragon’s corresponding Chinese symbol, the inscription “DRAGON 2024,” and “P125” because of the Perth Mint’s 125th anniversary.

The Dragon is the fifth zodiac sign and the only mythical creature. Therefore, 2024 is expected to be a lucky, prosperous, and magical year.
