2024 Australian Silver Dragon (@silversaver888)

Australian Dragons are usually out in March or April every year. It was late this year. I didn't acquire them from my usual online dealer. Rather, I got the coins from Monument Metals who happen to be the first to have them. Numista doesn't have it listed yet in their catalog!

Chinese dragons are usually depicted without wings, in contrast to their Western counterparts. According to Chinese belief, they are able to fly using chi, the ethereal life force that penetrates everything. The dragon's ability to fly without wings is a representation of its transcendent character and link to the celestial and earthly domains.

This year's design displays a stylized depiction of clouds and water against a background of a dragon chasing a burning pearl. On this side is the P125 mint mark, which commemorates the 125th anniversary of Perth Mint's establishment.

On the obverse of the 2024 Australian Rectangular Silver Dragons depicts Charles III. This Dan Thorne design is the first effigy of Charles III on Australian coins. There is no crown on the head of the left-profile relief king.

The Perth Mint's Rectangular Dragon Coin Series has become one of its most well-liked in recent years. With the legal tender status of a silver coin, these rectangular silver coins have the appearance of a silver bar.

When it was first introduced in 2018, I was reluctant to purchase one. But because it contained a dragon, which is a symbol I really relate to (since I was born in the Lunar Calendar of the Fire Dragon), I bought it anyway.

And I have been buying them ever since.
