2012 Australia 1 oz Silver Black Dragon (Berlin)
In 2012, Australia celebrated the Year of the Dragon with a highly exclusive release known as the Black Dragon. Struck by the Perth Mint, this legal tender coin carries a face value of one dollar and is backed by the Australian government. What sets this particular issue apart is its exceptionally small release, with a total mintage limited to just 5,000 pieces. Crafted from one troy ounce of 0.999 fine silver, the coin presents a captivating contrast of artistry on its two sides. The reverse side features an intricate depiction of a traditional dragon, a powerful symbol in lunar lore. On the obverse, the right-facing portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, designed by Ian Rank-Broadley, is accompanied by inscriptions detailing the monarch's name, the country of origin, the 2012 issue date, and the one-dollar denomination. Additional inscriptions confirm the weight of one ounce and the triple-nine silver purity.
