Silver Lunar Dragon 1 oz PF domed coin - RAM 2024

Information about Silver Lunar Dragon 1 oz PF domed coin - RAM 2024

This special, domed silver coin from the Royal Australian Mint is dedicated to the year of the dragon (2024) in the Chinese lunar calendar. The dragon is one of the most powerful and popular symbols in the Chinese zodiac. It stands for strength, success, luck and prosperity. People born in the Year of the Dragon are considered intelligent, ambitious, courageous and enthusiastic. The dragon is the fifth sign of the twelve-year lunar calendar. This reflects the traditional story in which the Jade Emperor had the twelve signs of the zodiac compete against each other in a race across a river to decide in which order they should be entered in the calendar. Everyone thought that the dragon would arrive first as it could fly, but it stopped to help some villages along the way. The dragon took pity on the hare and wanted to finish after him. So the hare finished in fourth place.

This exclusive silver coin is struck in proof quality and comes with an elegant coin case and numbered certificate of authenticity. The proof (PF) finish is particularly sought after by collectors and is one of the most elaborate methods of producing a coin. Whereas with high relief minting only the relief of the motif side stands out, with this convex minting the entire base of the coin is struck in a convex shape. This minting process also presents the mints with special challenges. However, the effort is worth it, as both the convex and concave curvature of the coin create a special look.

The worldwide mintage of this special silver coin is just 7,500 pieces.

The design of the silver coin

The design side shows a noble and self-confident dragon surrounded by clouds. The Chinese character for dragon, the words “YEAR OF THE DRAGON”, the weight of “1 oz” and the alloy “.999 Ag” can also be seen. The value side shows the famous portrait of Queen Elizabeth II surrounded by the 12 signs of the zodiac for the last time. The current sign is positioned at 12 o'clock above the portrait. The portrait is framed by the inscriptions “ELIZABETH II”, “AUSTRALIA 2024” and “5 DOLLARS”.
