2012 1/10 oz Gold Lunar Year of the Dragon PR-70 PCGS
This tenth-ounce gold coin from 2012 celebrates the Year of the Dragon with remarkable artistry and precision. Struck by the Perth Mint from 0.9999 pure gold, the piece has been certified in perfect Proof 70 Deep Cameo condition, highlighting the intense contrast between the frosted design elements and the mirror-like fields. The reverse side displays a classic Chinese dragon alongside a representation of the pearl of wisdom, accompanied by the Chinese character representing the dragon. On the obverse, the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II by Ian Rank-Broadley is featured. Legible inscriptions on the coin include ELIZABETH II, the year 2012, the purity of 9999 GOLD, and the face value of 15 DOLLARS. With a highly restricted release of only 4,345 pieces, this coin represents a rare combination of modern minting excellence and traditional cultural symbolism. It is a fully authorized sovereign coin, backed directly by the government of Australia.
