In Chinese culture, dragons are highly respected and seen as wise and powerful creatures, unlike the fearsome beasts of Western mythology. They are often associated with good fortune, strength, and imperial authority. Unlike their European counterparts, Chinese dragons are wingless and known for their magical ability to move freely through air and water. Right now, 2025 Australian Chinese Myths and Legends Dragon 10 oz Silver Coins are available from Provident Metals.
Highlights:
These 2025 Australian Chinese Myths and Legends Dragon 10 oz Silver Coins are available in Brilliant Uncirculated condition. Each coin is housed in a protective plastic capsule for safe storage. As part of the Perth Mints Myths and Legends Series, this release celebrates one of the most iconic mythical creatures in Chinese culture.
Obverse
The obverse of the 2025 Australian Chinese Myths and Legends Dragon Silver Coin displays a left-profile portrait of King Charles III. This design by Dan Thorne marks the first effigy of His Majesty on Australian coinage, presenting the monarch without a crown. The inscriptions read CHARLES III, AUSTRALIA, 10 OZ 9999 AG, and 10 DOLLARS.
Reverse
On the reverse, the 2025 Chinese Myths and Legends Dragon 10 oz Silver Coin features a stunning image of a coiled dragon holding a flaming pearl, surrounded by stylized clouds. This design embodies the dragons traditional role in Chinese mythology as a wise and powerful protector of treasure and a bringer of prosperity. Inscriptions on this side read 2025 and the P mint mark.
History
The Dragon Kings play a particularly significant role in Chinese mythology, with four major Dragon Kings ruling over the four seas that were believed to surround the Middle Kingdom. These powerful deities were responsible for controlling rainfall and water, making them crucial figures in agricultural society. People would often pray to them during times of drought or flood, and temples dedicated to the Dragon Kings can still be found throughout China today.
