🇦🇺 Lunar III Dragon 2024 – 1 oz Silver Coin – Australia’s Tribute to the Power of the Dragon
The Lunar III Dragon 2024 – 1 oz Silver Coin unites Chinese mythology, artistic precision, and the refined craft of the Perth Mint in a single, elegant creation. As part of the globally admired Lunar III series, this edition honours the Year of the Dragon, a symbol deeply woven into Chinese culture and associated with wisdom, strength, and transformative energy. The generous surface of the one-ounce format allows the full depth of the design to unfold with remarkable clarity.
The reverse features the Chinese dragon, depicted with powerful motion and finely sculpted detail. Its body coils across the coin in flowing curves, while every scale is rendered with delicate precision. Flames along the silhouette highlight its celestial character, creating an image that feels dynamic yet balanced. Rather than fierce, the dragon appears protective, noble, and deeply rooted in tradition, embodying the belief that this mythical creature governs prosperity, renewal, and harmony between the elements.
The obverse presents the effigy of King Charles III, portrayed with calm dignity. The refined modelling of the profile, together with the surrounding inscriptions of denomination and year, creates a harmonious counterpart to the vibrant reverse. This balance between tradition and modernity is characteristic of the Perth Mint’s distinctive artistic language.
Struck from 99.99% pure silver, the coin radiates a bright, clean lustre. Its polished and matte finishes interact gracefully with light, emphasising both the sculptural depth of the dragon and the smooth elegance of the background. The one-ounce format offers an ideal interplay of detail, presence, and purity, making this edition both visually striking and comfortably collectible.
In Chinese culture, the dragon holds a place of exceptional honour. It is revered not as a destructive force, but as a bearer of good fortune, guidance, and cosmic balance. The 2024 design reflects these values by capturing the creature in a moment that combines movement and serenity, power and grace.
The Lunar III Dragon 2024 – 1 oz Silver Coin stands as a celebration of myth, artistry, and tradition. It transforms an ancient symbol into a modern numismatic creation, offering a piece that resonates with cultural depth, visual strength, and timeless refinement.
