2024 1 oz Perth Mint Year of the Dragon Gold Coin

The 2024 Year of the Dragon 1oz gold coin from the Perth Mint celebrates the Chinese Lunar Year of the Dragon. It features a stylized Chinese mythical dragon on the reverse, symbolizing control over the elements, accompanied by the character for ‘dragon,’ the inscription ‘DRAGON 2024,’ and a ‘P125’ mintmark for The Perth Mint’s 125th anniversary.

On the obverse, the coin displays the Jody Clark Memorial Obverse of Queen Elizabeth II, including the dates of her reign from ‘1952-2022,’ along with details like the coin’s weight, purity, and monetary denomination. As an added security measure, the 1oz coin integrates a micro-laser engraved letter ‘P’ for authentication, making counterfeiting significantly more challenging.

The dragon, the fifth animal in the lunar zodiac, is believed to bestow qualities like bravery, ambition, intelligence, and good fortune on those born in its years—1952, 1964, 1976, 1988, 2000, 2012, and 2024. This troy ounce gold coin contains 31.1g of fine, 999.9 gold, with a face value of 100 Australian Dollars.
