Silver Lunar III Dragon 1/2 oz PF - 2024

Information about the Silver Lunar III Dragon 1/2 oz PF - 2024

The highly anticipated latest issue in the Perth Mint's Lunar III series continues with the stunning motif of the Chinese dragon. The dragon is the fifth character of the twelve-year lunar calendar. This reflects the traditional story in which the Jade Emperor pitted the twelve signs of the zodiac against each other in a race across a river to decide in which order they should be entered into the calendar. Those born in 2024, 2012, 2000, 1988, 1976 and every 12th previous year under the sign of the Chinese dragon are considered ambitious, successful and charismatic.

In addition to the classic investment variant, the Perth Mint is also issuing certain gold and silver proof variants of the Lunar III Dragon. Proof (PF) is particularly sought after by collectors and is one of the most elaborate production processes for a coin. As a special highlight for collectors, each coin is issued with a capsule including a numbered certificate of authenticity and a high-quality case with silver engraving and magnetic closure. The silver coin is strictly limited with a worldwide mintage of only 4,000.

The design of the silver coin

The dominant center of the design side shows a fearsome dragon. The characteristic design of the dragon is characterized by its serpentine body shape as well as its scales and curved horns. Waves and a flaming pearl (a symbol of wisdom) are also depicted. Next to the motif is the Chinese character for dragon “龍”, the inscription “DRAGON 2024” and the Perth Mint mintmark “P125” (which symbolizes the 125th anniversary of the Perth Mint).

The value side of the coin shows the Jody Clark portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, with the words “ELIZABETH II 1952 - 2022” and “AUSTRALIA” embossed above. Below, the face value of “50 CENTS”, the weight “1/2 oz” and the fineness “9999 Ag” adorn the coin.
