In Chinese culture, the Dragon is revered as a symbol of power, good fortune, and prosperity. It is associated with the emperor and represents imperial authority. Dragons are believed to bring blessings and abundance. As a result, those born in the Year of the Dragon are thought to be destined for success and are highly regarded in Chinese society.

All of these 2000 1 oz Australian Gold Lunar Dragon Coins are available to you in Brilliant Uncirculated condition. Each coin will ship with a protective acrylic capsule. The Perth Mint capped mintage of the 1 oz gold coin in 2000 to just 30,000 specimens in total.

Queen Elizabeth II features on the obverse of the 2000 Australian Gold Lunar Dragon Coin. Her Majesty is shown here in the popular right-profile relief created by Ian Rank-Broadley in 1998. The design shows the Queen with the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland Tiara. This effigy is arguably the most widely distributed portrait of Elizabeth II during her reign.

For the reverse design of the 2000 1 oz Gold Lunar Dragon Coin, the mint offers a glimpse of a Chinese dragon. The design shows the serpent-like Chinese dragon pursuing a flaming pearl within the design element.
