Comment

The Perth Mint has issued a new Chinese Myths & Legends Series in 2021 with the image of the Chinese dragon.

The Chinese dragon is featured within its celestial realm on the reverse side of the Chinese Myths & Legends Dragon Coin. The Chinese dragon is also depicted as a serpent-like beast. In Chinese mythology, the beasts are associated with the clouds as the celestial world is considered the home of the dragon. The coin’s reverse portrays a powerful Chinese dragon clasping a pearl in one of its claws.
