The Design

Accompanying the design is the Chinese character for “DRAGON”, the inscription “DRAGON 2024” and “P125,” referring to the Perth Mint’s 125th anniversary.
The effigy of Queen Elizabeth II stamped on the obverse is the one created by artist Jody Clark in 1995.
The engravings that complete the design inform Her Majesty’s name and reign, the coin’s weight, metal content, purity, origin, and face value through “ELIZABETH II,” “1952-2022,” “AUSTRALIA,” “1 oz 9995 Pt”, and “100 DOLLARS.”
Because it is a proof coin, its surface exhibits a mirror-like luster with frosted design elements.
The Year of the Dragon
2024 is the Year of the Dragon, and according to the Chinese culture, the creature’s traits determine the fortune of its corresponding year.
The Dragon is the only mythical creature in the Chinese Zodiac and the fifth in the order. It is associated with wisdom, magic, strength, and luck. Therefore, it is expected to bring hope, mysticism, and prosperity to the upcoming year.
