2024 Lunar Year of the Dragon at Provident Metals

Many mints around the world issue lunar-themed bullion on an annual basis. From the Perth Mint’s Lunar Series to PAMP Suisse’s Lunar bars, there are several options to choose from. Learn more about 2024 Lunar Year of the Dragon products at Provident Metals, right here.

Perth Mint Lunar Series

The most well-known lunar-themed coinage comes from the Perth Mint. Lunar Series I debuted in 1996, followed by Lunar Series II in 2008, and the Lunar Series III in 2020. With 2024 upon us, the Perth Mint continues the series with the new Year of the Dragon coinage.

What makes these unique are all the different designs they offer. Silver coins show the image of a dragon flying around the field, breathing fire as a flaming pearl is alongside it. Another option shows colorized dragons flying around the side of the field after a flaming pearl. Gold coins offer a similar design, with no flaming pearl.

Coins are available in several sizes, and various strikes such as proof and colorized versions. The 2024 Lunar Year of the Dragon Coins also shows the unique P125 mint mark for the 125th anniversary of the Perth Mint. Also shown is the traditional Chinese character for the dragon.

Another option is a 10-coin set, featuring 10 unique coins from the 2024 set of releases.
