Australian Year Of The Dragon Silver $240

Updated August 20, 2026

Australian Year Of The Dragon Silver $240 This Australian Year of the Dragon silver coin is a prestigious numismatic piece from the renowned Perth Mint Lunar Series, specifically the 2000 Series I edition. Struck from 99.9% pure silver, the reverse showcases a powerful and intricately detailed traditional Chinese dragon, a symbol of strength and good fortune, alongside the Chinese character for "dragon." The inscription "Year of the Dragon" is elegantly curved along the bottom rim. This particular specimen is housed in its original protective clear acrylic capsule, ensuring the preservation of its brilliant uncirculated finish. As a key date in the Lunar Series, this coin is highly sought after by collectors for its low mintage and the cultural significance of the dragon, which often leads to higher premiums in the secondary market compared to other lunar animals. The obverse features the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, confirming its status as legal tender under the Australian Currency Act. The inclusion of the inventory tag labeled 0017 indicates it is part of a cataloged collection or auction lot, further verifying its provenance for serious investors. Condition: The item appears to be in brilliant uncirculated condition, housed within a protective clear acrylic capsule. The surfaces show original luster with no immediate evidence of wear, scratches, or toning visible through the plastic. The fields are clean, and the intricate details of the dragon scales and lettering remain sharp and well-defined. Mint: The Perth Mint, Australia (identified by the P mint mark visible on the reverse). Metal Content: .999 Fine Silver. Historical Context: This coin is part of the Australian Lunar Series I, issued to celebrate the Year of the Dragon in the Chinese zodiac. The dragon is a symbol of power, strength, and good luck. The Series I Lunar coins were the first of their kind from the Perth Mint, running from 1996 to 2007, with the Dragon being the 2000 release. Strike Type: Bullion/Business Strike.
