2024 Australian Silver Lunar Dragon Coin

in #hive-13681911 months ago

I can't believe it!
It's been five years since I picked up
the first Australian Lunar III coin.


We are in the 5th year of release for the Australian Silver Lunar Dragon coin. Only 300,000 have been minted. This coin from the Perth Mint is sold out at the Australian Mint.

2024 Australian Silver Lunar Dragon Coin BU

The design is Ing Ing Jong's most recent Lunar artwork. It features a front-facing relief of a Chinese dragon with a coiled body and water flowing from its mouth. There is a micro-engraved security mark in addition to the P125 mint mark.

Coin Highlights:

  • Contains 1 Troy oz of .9999 pure silver in BU condition.
  • Issued a face value of $1 (AUD) by Australia.
  • The obverse side features a portrait of Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
  • On the reverse field of the coin is the Chinese dragon.
  • Micro-engraved security element on the reverse.
  • P125 mint mark on the reverse.
  • Designed by Ing Ing Jong.

Yes, it is Elizabeth II gracing the obverse of the coin! Your guess is as good as mine, whether it will be Charles for the next release. What do you think? Will it be Charles?

The Perth Mint is Australia's oldest mint still in operation. Originally operating as a part of the Royal Mint of England system on the continent, the Western Australian government owns and operates the mint, which opened in 1899. Since 1965, it has functioned independently of the newly established Royal Australian Mint.


The Lunar designs is so popular among collectors. Would you believe that Perth Mint they have minted 24 coins for Lunar I and Lunar II? That's 24 years, one coin every year from 1996 to 2019: Lunar Series I: 1996-2007 and Lunar Series II: 2008-2019

I started stacking towards the end of 2015 and came in the middle of Lunar II. So now that the Perth Mint continues on with the Lunar Series III collection, I was bent on starting Lunar III.

The first of the series was launched in 2020 which started a new 12-year program for investors and collectors.

The Lunar Series from the Perth Mint go along with the12-year cycle of the Zodiac where Chinese lunar calendar begins with the Year of the Rat and ends with the Year of the Pig.

Here are the Australian Lunar III coins:

2024 Australian Silver Lunar Dragon
2023 Australian Silver Lunar Rabbit
2022 Australian Silver Lunar Tiger
2021 Australian Silver Lunar Ox
2020 Australian Silver Lunar Mouse

Seven more years to go!

These coins are beautiful. The one that struck me for its originality is the dragon coin, while the one that I like most for its elegance is the Elizabeth II coin

They are the same coin! All of the Lunar coins above have the same Elizabeth II.
Thanks and take care, @stefano.massari !

Thanks, @ssg-community !

I’m a huge dragon fan, but I’m quite disappointed i this design from the Perth Mint. It’s the first design J think is garbage from them.

These are the two Lunar I and Lunar II Dragons.
Lunar I & 2 Dragons.gif
The dragon today was designed by the same designer as the Lunar I & 2 Dragons.
It is definitely unusual, @silverd510 .
I prefer the design of the gold version!
!PIZZA

I have both of those. No chance I’m buying that one……

These are about the only Lunar 1 & 2 coins that I have, !LOL.

Knock knock...

A really sweet depiction of the dragon on the reverse!As for the Queen Elizabeth vs. Charles thing-Elizabeth was so loved by the people, it may take quite some time before folks are ready to give her up for the king. Let's face it; she's prettier than he is, lol!

Time will tell I suspect, but my vote my be for Elizabeth. A beautiful addition to your stack sis! Much love to you!!!🤗💜😘💕😍🌸 !LADY !LUV !PIMP

Yeah, they should have Elizabeth II for another seven years, hehehe! Due to the advance in years of Charles, he might pass before the seven years are up, leaving the series with two other obverses. How old is he... 75, and he is set to undergo prostate surgery next week!
(Seriously now) the coin is another addition to my permastack, sis!

i really like coins that display animals and especially the dragon is amazing!

Yes, animals are so pretty on coins. The Royal Canadian Mint makes very good wildlife. The EC8 coins (Scottsdale Mint) make fish life so beautiful. Perth Mint makes great Lunar coins in addition to their Kangaroo, Kookaburra, and Koala coins. The South Korean Mint makes the amazing Tiger and Leopard coins. To name a few, hehehe.
!BBH

i need to set up some long term goals to obtain one of each that portrays an animal

That would be just great!!! How about a Panda? A Chinese Panda. They are pretty!

Mine finally came in the mail (ordered back in November) amazed again of the level of quality maintained by the Perth mint and yet keep the design fresh and consistent.

Always, with love 🤗🌺❤️

It sure bears a very strong resemblance to the original Qing Dynasty 7 Mace... Kwang Tung province coin which I think Perth is aiming for, this minor coin is the 1Mace 4.4 Candareens version.

Yeah, it is a frontal design, unlike the other dragons. Most dragons are depicted with one side showing! Will you be getting one?
