The obverse depicts a beloved effigy of the former Queen Elizabeth II, created by Jody Clark in 1995. Besides Her Majesty’s portrait, the design is engraved with “ELIZABETH II,” “1952-2022,” “AUSTRALIA,” on top and “1 oz 9999 Au” and “100 DOLLARS” on the bottom rim.
This information describes the Queen’s name and reigning period, the coin’s origin, weight, fineness, metal content, and monetary denomination, respectively.
The new reverse design showcases the Dragon as a full body portrait, with twisted body, waves and fog in the background. It also features its corresponding Chinese symbol, “DRAGON 2024”, and “P125” standing for the combination of the mintmark and the Perth Mint’s 125th anniversary.
The Year of the Dragon
The Dragon is the fifth zodiac sign in the Chinese Calendar and the only mythical creature. According to its culture, the ascending animal’s trait leads to its corresponding year. Therefore, 2024 is expected to be lucky, bringing good fortune and prosperity.
