Embark on a journey into the Lunar Series III program at Perth Mint, a cherished collection of lunar-themed coins with roots tracing back to 1996. Beyond the standard BU Lunar Series III coins, Perth Mint presents special editions with high-relief strikes, colorized fields, and antique finishes. Now, you have the opportunity to own the 2024 Antique Australian Lunar Dragon 2 oz Silver Coins, available for purchase online from Provident Metals.
Highlights:
The Chinese dragon holds profound cultural and symbolic significance in Chinese folklore, particularly within the context of the lunar calendar. The Chinese lunar calendar, a harmonious blend of lunar and solar cycles, designates each year to one of the twelve zodiac animals, with the dragon being a central figure.
Obverse
On the obverse side of the 2024 Antique Lunar Dragon 2 oz Silver Coin, Perth Mint showcases the final effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, designed by Jody Clark in 2015. This iconic image, first gracing Australian coins in 2017, captures the Queen at the age of 89 wearing the George IV State Diadem. Inscriptions read ELIZABETH II, 1952-2022, AUSTRALIA, 2 OZ 9999 AG, 2024, and 2 DOLLARS.
Reverse
Turning to the reverse field of the 2024 Antique Australian Lunar Dragon Silver Coin, Ing Ing Jong presents a front-facing view of the dragon, portraying it as a benevolent creature spewing water forth from its mouth.
History
In Chinese culture, the dragon symbolizes strength, good fortune, and power. Its significance extends beyond the lunar calendar, weaving into various aspects of Chinese mythology and history.
