2012 Australia 1 oz Gold Lunar Dragon Proof (Series II)
The year 2012 marked a celebration of the lunar calendar with a stunning gold proof round from Australia. Struck with a purity of 0.9999 fine gold, this one-ounce piece is backed by the Australian government as a sovereign coin with a face value of 100 Dollars. Produced by the Perth Mint, this release was limited to a mintage of just 3,000 pieces, making it a highly detailed and carefully crafted example of modern minting artistry. On the obverse, the round displays the familiar effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, designed by Ian Rank-Broadley. Surrounding the portrait are inscriptions indicating the monarch's name, the issuing country, the year 2012, and the face value of 100 Dollars. The reverse is dedicated to the Year of the Dragon, showcasing a traditional Chinese dragon alongside a symbolic pearl of wisdom. This side also features the Chinese character representing the dragon, the English inscription 'Year of the Dragon', and the 'P' mint mark, signifying its origin from the Perth Mint.
