2012 Australia 1 kilo Silver Year of the Dragon BU (Colorized)
This impressive silver coin weighs a full kilogram, containing 32.15 troy ounces of 99.9 percent pure silver. Issued under the authority of the Australian government, this sovereign piece stands out for its substantial weight and its vibrant, colorized artwork celebrating the Chinese Lunar Calendar. The reverse of the coin showcases a traditional Chinese dragon rendered in striking color. The legendary creature is depicted alongside a representation of the pearl of wisdom, a classic motif in lunar-themed art. The Chinese character representing the dragon is also integrated into this side of the coin, alongside the Perth Mint mark. On the obverse, the profile of Queen Elizabeth II faces right, a classic portrait created by Ian Rank-Broadley, indicated by the initials IRB. The inscriptions surrounding the portrait confirm the monarch's name, the year 2012, the face value of 30 Dollars, and the technical specifications of the coin, which include its weight of one kilogram and its 999 silver purity.
