2022 Perth Mint Dragon 1oz Silver Rectangular Bullion Coin

Struck by The Perth Mint from 1oz of 99.99% pure silver, the 2022 Dragon Silver Rectangular Bullion Coin combines an innovative bar-shaped format with one of the most revered symbols in Eastern mythology.

The design depicts a dragon pursuing a magical pearl, a traditional motif associated with prosperity and the power to make dreams come true. Issued as Australian legal tender with a maximum mintage of 250,000, this distinctive bullion release combines precious-metal investment appeal with an enduring cultural theme.

In traditional Oriental culture, the serpentine-shaped dragon is revered as a noble, benevolent and wise creature.

Unlike the fearsome monsters commonly portrayed in Western folklore, the Oriental dragon is regarded as divine, lucky and good, offering protection and guidance to mankind.

These associations with good fortune and prosperity make the dragon a fitting subject for this distinctive precious-metal release.

The reverse portrays a magnificent dragon chasing a magical pearl. This traditional motif is associated with prosperity and the power to make dreams come true.

The design also incorporates The Perth Mint's distinctive 'P' mintmark.

The obverse features the Jody Clark effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, accompanied by the coin's weight, fineness, monetary denomination and 2022 year-date.
