2024 AUS 1/2 oz Silver Purple Lunar Dragon BU (Cap, SIII)
The Year of the Dragon comes alive in a striking display of color with this half-ounce silver coin from the Lunar Series III. Struck by The Perth Mint, this release marks the fifth entry in the popular series. The coin stands out with its reverse design of a vivid purple dragon winding through stylized clouds, pursuing a flaming pearl. This side also incorporates the Chinese character for dragon, the inscription DRAGON 2024, and a unique P125 mint mark honoring the 125th anniversary of the mint. On the obverse, the Jody Clark effigy of Queen Elizabeth II is presented alongside the years of her historic reign, 1952 to 2022. The inscriptions surrounding the portrait confirm its status as Australian legal tender, detailing the face value of 50 Cents, the 2024 date, and the coin's weight and purity of half an ounce of 0.9999 fine silver. With a maximum mintage of 200,000 pieces, this modern silver coin offers a beautiful blend of traditional lunar themes and contemporary minting artistry.
