Australian Series II Lunar Gold Quarter Ounce 2012 Dragon

If you are looking to add some fierce character to your gold coin collection, then the Australian Lunar Series II 2012 Dragon is what you are looking for! But your interest shouldn't stop there! The entire Australian Lunar Series I and II make for an interesting and wise investment! Being minted at the oldest working mint in Australia, the Australian Lunar Series II guarantees investors and collectors .9999 pure gold coins with a finish that exceeds any brilliant uncirculated coin currently on the market. With proof-like features, amidst a background of a matte finish, each coin is also mint sealed in a capsule for its own protection.

Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II is included on all bullion coins' obverse that are produced in the Commonwealth of Nations. A famous sculptor, Ian Rank-Broadley, designed this portrait of the Queen to commemorate her aged years. The obverse also includes the coin's legal tender value, its gold weight and purity. On the reverse, an angry dragon, with an open mouth, ready to rain down fury on whoever challenges it. "Year of the dragon" is inscribed underneath the dragon, along with the Chinese symbol for dragon, and the "P" mint-mark proving it was minted at the Perth Mint. Not only are dragons well-respected by Chinese tradition, but their incredible power has encouraged emperors to refer to themselves as a dragon to intimidate their opponents. The dragon is the only animal that represents power, good fortune, luck, and success all in one. Those born under the dragon have integrity, do not participate in gossip or slander, and have a positive energy about them. Of course with the strengths come the weaknesses; like how the dragon breathes fire, the person born under the year of the dragon is known to have a fiery temper when crossed.
