2024 Year of the Dragon 2oz Silver Antiqued Coin
Description
With the tones and surface abrasions of an ancient artefact, this 2oz silver release portrays our 2024 Year of the Dragon design in exceptional detail.
Those born under the sign of the Chinese lunar Dragon in 2024, 2011, 1999, 1987, 1975 and each 12th preceding year are said to be intelligent, creative, vigilant and compassionate.
The Australian Lunar Series III 2024 Year of the Dragon 2oz Silver Antiqued Coin is struck by The Perth Mint from 99.99% pure silver and no more than 1,888 of these coins will be released worldwide.
The coin’s reverse portrays a dragon with water cascading from its mouth. The design’s detailed background includes representations of a village, a pagoda, a river, a ‘moon’ bridge, traditional Chinese boats, mountains, and swirling clouds
The coin has been individually ‘antiqued’ to give it a unique finish conveying the surface abrasions of an ancient artefact. As a result of this treatment the appearance of each coin may vary.
The coin is housed in a classic display case with a clear lid decorated with a silver geometric design. The case is packaged in a beautifully illustrated shipper portraying the story of how the Dragon became an animal of the Chinese lunar calendar and is accompanied by a numbered certificate of authenticity.
The shippers of future animals in the Lunar Series III will, when arrayed together, form a diorama depicting the ancient myth of The Great Race.
