2000 Australia 10 oz Silver Year of the Dragon BU
2000 Australia 10 oz Silver Year of the Dragon BU
In the year 2000, Australia celebrated the Lunar calendar with a substantial ten-ounce silver coin dedicated to the Year of the Dragon. Struck in 0.999 fine silver, this large-format piece showcases the artistry of Tony Dean on its reverse. The design brings to life a traditional Chinese dragon alongside a pearl of wisdom, accompanied by the Chinese character representing the legendary creature. The obverse of this legal tender ten-dollar coin features the recognizable effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, designed by Ian Rank-Broadley. Legible inscriptions on the coin include the weight and purity of 10 OZ 999 SILVER, the issuing nation of AUSTRALIA, the denomination of 10 DOLLARS, and the artist's initials IRB. With a limited mintage of just 7,926 pieces, this brilliant uncirculated coin represents a fascinating blend of Australian minting precision and traditional lunar celebration.
