A delightful numismatic celebration of the Year of the Dragon, this highly original antiqued 1oz silver coin features a novel rotating charm in the form of the fifth animal in the lunar zodiac.
The dragon is significant in traditional Chinese culture as a symbol of wealth, wisdom, and good fortune. It is considered particularly lucky to be born in the Year of the Dragon, which occurs every 12 years, including 2024.
Bestowed with instinctive bravery, persistence, and intelligence, those born under the influence of the auspicious beast are regarded as ambitious, charismatic, and successful.
Resembling a dragon’s head, the rotating charm at the coin’s centre is made from 18-carat gold-plated sterling silver. It is surrounded by representations of a serpentine-shaped dragon, stylized clouds, and a symbolic flaming pearl. Also featuring The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark, the coin has been ‘antiqued’ to give it a unique finish conveying the surface abrasions of an ancient artefact.
This coin portrays the official Queen Elizabeth II Memorial Obverse, featuring the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy supplemented with the dates of Her Majesty’s reign – ‘1952 – 2022’.
Accompanied by a numbered certificate of authenticity, the coin is presented in a classic black display case with a clear lid and stylishly themed shipper.
