Obverse

The obverse side of the 2025 Rectangular Gold Dragon Coin features King Charles III in a left-facing portrait without a crown. This image was developed by Dan Thorne for the Perth Mint.

Reverse

On the reverse, the design shows a traditional Chinese dragon in motion, twisting and turning with a flowing body. Unlike Western dragons, this version represents peace, prosperity, and strength. These dragons are celebrated in many areas of Chinese culture, from buildings to celebrations.

History

Chinese dragons are not fierce beasts but rather kind and majestic. They are often shown with long bodies, flying through clouds or rising from waves. Artists use red and yellow to highlight their heavenly and royal symbolism. Youll find these dragons on scrolls, carvings, and pottery throughout Chinese history.
