2024 1 oz Silver Year of the Dragon Proof Coin - Lunar Series III
The Perth Mint is famous for featuring coin series with unique annual designs. The Lunar Series III is one of them.
The Chinese Calendar is a common motif in the Mint. Therefore, each year, the Lunar Series brings the corresponding Chinese Astrological Sign in an exclusive depiction.
The Lunar Series III Silver coins stands out because its design differs from its gold and platinum counterparts, especially appreciated in its mirror-like proof version.
That makes the Silver Year of the Dragon Proof Coin a fantastic purchase to compose coin collections.

The Design
The silver coins of the series have a unique Dragon reverse design. The Dragon has a frontal close-up depiction, with water cascading from its mouth, twisted body, sharp claws, and holding a pearl, which means wisdom.
The essential engravings are beneath the Dragon and correspond to its Chinese character, “DRAGON 2024,” and a “P125,” which stands for the 125th anniversary of the Perth Mint.
The obverse showcases Jody Clark’s crowned effigy of the former Queen Elizabeth II. The words “ELIZABETH II,” “1952-2022,” “AUSTRALIA,” “1 oz 9999 Ag,” and “1 DOLLAR” refer to the Monarch’s name and reigning period, the coin’s origin, weight, purity, metal content, and face value.
Because it is a proof coin, its surface exhibits a mirror-like luster.
The Year of the Dragon
According to Chinese culture, the ascending animal of a particular year determines that year’s fortune.
The Dragon is the fifth zodiac sign in the Chinese Calendar, the only mythical creature, and the ascendant of 2024. Therefore, it is expected to bring feelings of hope, mysticism, and prosperity to the upcoming year.
