Comment

Guardians of gold
Dragons are mythical reptilian creatures of fearsome appearance that feature in many ancient cultures. The existence of dragons remains a popular notion and they are strongly represented in contemporary fantasy. In both Eastern and Western traditions, dragons are often portrayed as guardians of gold and other treasures.

Striking design
The coin portrays a striking image of a dragon. In the background, the dragon’s hoard includes treasure chests and coins, as well as statues and icons from ancient civilizations. Included in the design is The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark.

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique combination of Eastern and Western design elements. The obverse side of the coin bears the 6th portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, while the reverse side features a stylized Chinese dragon wrapped around a bullion bar, symbolizing the fusion of Western and Eastern cultures. This blend of designs makes the coin a distinctive and valuable collector's item.
