2026 Perth Mint 1oz Silver Proof Rectangular Coin - Dragon

Description

DETAILS

The dragon is a legendary reptilian creature steeped in cultural significance. In Western folklore it is portrayed as a winged beast that unleashes a destructive flame. In Chinese mythology, the dragon is revered as a majestic, serpentine creature embodying strength, wisdom, and prosperity. It is celebrated as a guardian of the natural world, believed to command rain, rivers, and the heavens. Often depicted with flowing whiskers, scaled bodies, and a noble presence, the Eastern dragon symbolises potent power, harmony, and abundant good fortune, serving as a timeless emblem of imperial authority.

This carefully crafted 99.99% pure silver proof quality rectangular coin features a meticulously detailed depiction of an oriental dragon, snarling with its body adorned with finely detailed scales. The design incorporates the inscription '2026’ and The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark.

The obverse bears the Dan Thorne effigy of His Majesty King Charles III. It features radiant lines in the background, along with the inscription “CHARLES III AUSTRALIA”, and the coin’s weight, purity, and monetary denomination
