Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design that combines traditional Chinese motifs with modern coinage technology. The obverse of the coin features a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, while the reverse features a dragon wrapped around a stylized 25, symbolizing the 25th anniversary of the Australian Kangaroo gold coin series. The use of gold, a symbol of wealth and prosperity in Chinese culture, adds to the coin's significance and value. Additionally, the coin's limited mintage of 7,777 pieces worldwide makes it a highly sought-after collectible among numismatists and collectors of rare coins.
