The Design

Gold and platinum coins of the series share the same Dragon reverse design.

It consists of a full-body depiction with a twisted torso, sharp claws, and a long tail, surrounded by waves and fog.

The Chinese character for the animal is on the right, with “DRAGON 2024,” and on the left, “P125,” represents the Perth Mint’s 125th anniversary.

The obverse design is the same for all the coins of the series. It features artist Jody Clark’s portrait of former Queen Elizabeth II, encircled by “ELIZABETH II,” “1952-2022,” and “AUSTRALIA” on top, describing the Queen’s name and reigning period and the coin’s origin.

The inscriptions “1 oz 9999 Pt” and “100 DOLLARS” are on the bottom rim, informing the coin’s weight, fineness, metal content, and face value.

The Sheldon Grading Scale

The Sheldon Scale is a grading system recognized worldwide and is used as a parameter to classify coins according to their condition and authenticity. It is named after its creator, Dr. Willian Herbert Sheldon, and ranks coins from 70 to 1. The highest grade it gets, the more flawless the coin is.

Third-party grading services, like the PCGS - Professional Coin Grading System, use the scale to evaluate and certify the coins submitted to their appreciation.

A PF-70 Coin

PF stands for Proof Coin, indicating a coin not intended for widespread circulation but rather for collection purposes. Proof coins exhibit mirror-like luster surfaces, while the imprinted design images are frosted. Since it has never been in circulation, the coin has no sign of wear, tear, or scratching, which grants it a 70 grade.
