WOOD DRAGON
According to the Chinese philosophy of Wuxing (Five Elements Theory), the ebb and flow of five fundamental elements - wood, fire, earth, metal, and water - are responsible for the change in all things in the cosmos. In lunar astrology, it is believed these interconnected elements take turns to further shape the destiny of people born under each sign. In 2024, the dragon is influenced by wood - consequently ‘wood dragons’ are thought to be warm, wise, generous, and compassionate.
DRAGON DESIGN
The coin portrays five intricately coloured Chinese dragons centred around a spiral denoting the ever-recurring lunar cycle. Each dragon is accompanied by a circular motif containing the English word and Chinese character for one of the five elements. These motifs are appended with a symbolic representation of the element.
H.M. KING CHARLES III EFFIGY
The coin’s obverse bears the Jody Clark effigy of His Majesty King Charles III, as well as the coin’s weight and fineness, the monetary denomination, and 2024 year-date.
PRESENTATION PACKAGING
Accompanied by a numbered certificate of authenticity, the coin is housed in a presentation case and themed shipper.
ABOUT THE PERTH MINT
The Perth Mint opened in 1899 as the British Royal Mint's 3rd branch in Australia. The historical Hay Street location handled gold refining until moving to a modern facility in April 1990. Ownership of the mint was transferred to the Government of Western Australia in July of 1970. Under an agreement with the Commonwealth Treasury, they were empowered to mint and market gold, silver, and platinum as Australian legal tender to investors and collectors worldwide. Today, they are amongst the elite world mints whose pure gold, silver, and platinum items are trusted without question. Items such as the Australian Nugget, Silver Coin Series (Kangaroo, Kookaburra, Koala, and Platypus to name a few), as well as the Australian Lunar Gold and Silver Coin Series are extensively sought after by bullion investors worldwide.
