Australian Series II Lunar Gold Tenth Ounce 2012 Dragon

The fifth installment to the famous series, the Year of the Dragon is celebrated by an intricately designed coin. Based off of the ancient Chinese zodiac calendar, 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. Like how the dragon breathes fire, the person born under the year of the dragon is known to have a fiery temper when crossed. Being the most iconic symbol of the Chinese culture, the dragon represents prosperity in a time of famine. When a dragon is featured on an item and given as a gift, it resembles a wish of good fortune and prosperity to the recipient. The Australian Lunar Series II 1/10 ounce 2012 Gold Dragon is always a difficult coin to keep in our inventory, due to its significance with fortune. This coin is also in brilliant uncirculated condition, containing proof-like features as well.

The Australian Lunar Series II 1/10 ounce 2012 Gold Dragon is one of the most popular additions to the 12-coin series. Guaranteed to be .9999 pure gold, by the oldest working mint in Australia, the 1/10 ounce 2012 Gold Dragon makes for a great collection as well. The obverse presents a stunning portrait of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, designed by the famous sculptor, Ian Rank-Broadley, who desired to honor the Queen's aging rather than hide it. The proof-like obverse contains the Queen Elizabeth II's side portrait along with the coin's denomination, date of mintage, and gold content and purity. The reverse displays a less peaceful setting with a depiction of the traditional Chinese dragon, with its mouth widely agape. The "Year of the dragon" is inscribed underneath the dragon, along with the Chinese symbol for dragon, and the "P" mintmark proving it was minted at the Perth Mint. The Australian Lunar Series II is a harmoniously crafted coin collection that satisfies every coin collector's needs and wants in one single coin. This series has an incredibly low mintage and along with the remarkably designed features, every one who is looking to buy silver online needs to consider this series.
