These coins are in brilliant uncirculated condition and have an unlimited mintage, indicating that Perth Mint will continue to produce them throughout 2024. This release is particularly special, as it includes a unique P125 mint mark, paying homage to the 125th anniversary of Perth Mint’s founding in 1899.

Obverse

On the obverse side of the 2024 Australian Gold Lunar Dragon Coins, you will find the image of Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Perth Mint continues its Lunar Series III program in 2024 with Elizabeth II on the obverse of the coins, featuring the 2015 design by Jody Clark. This right-profile relief captures the Queen at the age of 89, wearing the George IV State Diadem.

Reverse

The reverse side of the 2024 2 oz Gold Lunar Dragons features a graceful depiction of the Chinese dragon. Unlike Western mythology, this dragon is not fearsome and fire-breathing but is a symbol of benevolence, power, water, rain, and agriculture. It is often portrayed as a long, serpentine creature with antler-like horns and the ability to control the weather. This side of the coin also includes the special anniversary mint mark and a micro-engraved security element.

History

For the 2024 Year of the Dragon, Perth Mint has once again chosen Ing Ing Jong to design their Lunar Series III coins. Ms. Jong has been an artist with Perth Mint since 2011, and her first lunar collection contribution was in 2013 with the Year of the Snake design in Lunar Series II. For the 2024 Year of the Dragon, she has created the artwork for both the silver and gold coins, with the gold design also featured on the platinum coin.
