2024 AUS 1 oz Gold Lunar Year of the Dragon (MD Premier+PCGS)

---

The year 2024 marks a magnificent entry in the celebrated Lunar coin series, showcasing a design that honors the legendary Chinese dragon. Struck from one ounce of exceptionally pure 0.9999 fine gold, this sovereign coin is issued by the historic Perth Mint and carries a legal tender value of 100 Dollars, fully backed by the Australian government. On the reverse side, a powerful Chinese dragon commands attention. This mythical beast is accompanied by the Chinese character representing the dragon, alongside the inscription 'DRAGON 2024'. To mark a major milestone for the issuing facility, the design also incorporates a special 'P125' mint mark, which signifies the 125th anniversary of The Perth Mint. The obverse of the coin pays tribute to the late monarch, featuring the Jody Clark effigy of Queen Elizabeth II along with the years of her historic reign, 1952 to 2022. This side also displays the weight, the high metal purity, and the face value. With a strict mintage limit of no more than 30,000 pieces worldwide, this coin stands as a fascinating intersection of cultural celebration and precise minting craftsmanship.
