2024 Australian Lunar Dragon Coins

As we step into the lunar year of 2024, The Perth Mint takes centre stage with the release of the 1oz Gold & Silver Australian Dragon Lunar Coins, both showcasing the mythical and powerful creature of the Chinese zodiac – the Dragon.

In this article, we delve into the mythical symbol of the lunar dragon. We’ll explore the different coin designs for 2024.

 

The Lunar Dragon

In Chinese astrology, the Dragon holds a special place as the only mythical creature in the 12-year cycle.

Representing health, strength, good luck, and the male element of Yang. The Dragon is believed to impart these qualities to individuals born in the years associated with this majestic creature – 1928, 1940, 1952, 1964, 1976, 1988, 2000, 2012, and, of course, 2024.

Its mythical nature adds a layer of uniqueness to the Lunar Dragon, making it a fascinating addition to a collection.
