2012 AUS 1/4 oz Gold Lunar Year of the Dragon PF-70 NGC (SII)
The year 2012 marked a celebration of the dragon in the Chinese zodiac, a theme captured on this Australian legal tender coin. Struck from a quarter ounce of highly pure 0.9999 fine gold, this piece represents a fusion of cultural tradition and modern minting excellence. The Perth Mint produced this coin under the authority of the Australian government, which backs its face value of 25 dollars. On the reverse, a classic Chinese dragon dominates the design. The mythical creature is depicted alongside a representation of the legendary pearl of wisdom, accompanied by the specific Chinese character representing the dragon. This intricate imagery honors the symbolic power and auspicious nature associated with the zodiac sign. The obverse features the familiar portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, created by sculptor Ian Rank-Broadley. Surrounding the royal likeness, the inscriptions confirm the country of origin, the year 2012, the face value, and the weight and purity of the precious metal.
