The Chinese dragon, a symbol with profound cultural influence across East Asia, including Japan, Korea, and Vietnam, has left an indelible mark in Chinese communities worldwide, such as in Chinatowns. It remains a significant symbol in Chinese art, literature, and festivals.
All 2024 1/10 oz Perth Mint Gold Lunar Dragon Coins are individually housed in capsules. Multiples of 20 are encapsulated and sealed together in a roll, each coin maintaining its Brilliant Uncirculated condition.
On the obverse side, a right-profile relief bust of Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, captured in a 2015 portrait by Jody Clark, is featured, adorned with the George IV State Diadem. This portrayal depicts the Queen at the age of 89.
The reverse field of the 2024 1/10 oz Gold Lunar Dragons displays a benevolent depiction of the Chinese dragon, distinct from its Western counterparts. Unlike the traditional fearsome portrayal, this dragon is presented as a serpent, embodying benevolence rather than destructive qualities.
