2012 Australia 1 oz Silver Year of the Dragon BU (Series II)
In 2012, Australia celebrated the Lunar Year of the Dragon with a striking silver dollar. Struck in one troy ounce of 999 fine silver, this piece combines traditional Chinese imagery with classic Commonwealth numismatic design. The Perth Mint, represented by its signature 'P' mint mark, produced a limited run of 300,000 of these brilliant uncirculated coins. The reverse side of the coin showcases a detailed depiction of a traditional Chinese dragon alongside a 'Pearl of Wisdom.' The Chinese character representing the dragon is also integrated into the design. On the obverse, the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, designed by Ian Rank-Broadley, is featured alongside the legal tender face value of 1 Dollar. This official sovereign coin is fully backed by the Australian government.
