The coin from the Australian Lunar Series III - Year of the Dragon 2024, depicts the fifth animal in the Chinese lunar zodiac. The coin has been carefully crafted from 1 ounce of 999.9 pure silver. The coin features modern authentication in the form of a micro-laser engraved letter, which is detectable under a magnifying glass. The whole coin is placed in a protective acrylic capsule.
The reverse of the coin features a Chinese mythical dragon surrounded by stylized waves. The Chinese character for dragon, the inscription DRAGON 2024, and the mint mark P125 are also visible. This number refers to the 125th anniversary of The Perth Mint. The obverse of the coin features a portrait of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Jody Clark. The obverse is complemented by the dates of her reign, 1952-2022, as well as the weight, purity, and denomination of the coin.
The Chinese calendar is a lunisolar calendar. It is divided into 60-year cycles, which consist of years assigned to 12 animals, appearing in 5 elements (wood, fire, earth, metal, water). These animals are, in order: rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, goat, monkey, rooster, dog, and pig. You can therefore refer to the Chinese calendar and check your characteristics according to your year of birth and the animal assigned to it. People born in 2012, 2000, 1988, 1976, 1964, and so on at 12-year intervals, belong to the sign of the dragon. It is the fifth sign in the entire cycle of animals in the calendar. The zodiac dragon is a person endowed with courage, ambition, intelligence, and luck. They are characterized by a sense of humor, are usually witty, and are well-liked in their environment. Dragons are free spirits by nature, and any restrictions can extinguish the flame that lies dormant in their souls. However, if this flame burns strongly enough, it brings out enormous reserves of creativity in dragons. The next zodiac dragons will be people born in 2024.
