The design of the obverse or front side of each coin features the now-iconic sculpture by Ian Rank-Broadley of the noble profile of Queen Elizabeth II. This side also includes the inscriptions "ELIZABETH II," "AUSTRALIA," "2012," and "999 GOLD" as well as the coin’s weight and legal denomination. It is the reverse design, however, that makes these handsome coins truly special. The depiction of the dragon manages the remarkable feat of being both playful and majestic in its design. The dragon, mustache in curls, faces the viewer with its front claws outstretched toward the Jade Emperor’s mighty “pearl of wisdom.” Its serpentine body with its intricate scales wraps around the coin, filling the entire field. Below the Imperial dragon, the Chinese character for the word dragon adds to the Asian affect of the coin’s design. The result is a cohesive and striking design that is sure to please collectors. The dragon is joined by the inscription “YEAR OF THE DRAGON.” Investors will enjoy the peace of mind in knowing that their investment is guaranteed with the full faith and credit of the Australian government as to the coin’s weight and bullion purity. Collectors will be delighted by its extremely handsome design. The 2012 Year of the Dragon gold coins are issued in five additional sizes including 2 ounces, 1 ounce, 1/2 ounce, ¼ ounce, and 1/10 ounce. You might choose to collect all six denominations to create a complete set.
Our completely secure on-line ordering system ensures that you will receive your 2012 Year of the Dragon Gold coins both safely and swiftly so you can enjoy these outstanding gold bullion coins within just days!
