The 2024 2 oz Perth Lunar Year of the Dragon Silver Coin (BU) marks the fifth annual release in The Perth Mint's Australian Lunar Series III, the current chapter of one of the world's longest-running lunar coin programs. Struck from 2 troy ounces of .9999 fine silver and finished to Brilliant Uncirculated standards, the coin carries a face value of $2 AUD and is issued as official Australian legal tender backed by the Australian Government.
Designed by Ing Ing Jong, whose work reflects a deep understanding of Asian mythology and symbolism, the coin also bears the exclusive "P125" mintmark commemorating The Perth Mint's 125th anniversary in 2024. This release brings together three milestones: the Year of the Dragon, the fifth year of Lunar Series III, and a landmark anniversary for one of the world's leading precious metals institutions.
The timing is especially noteworthy because 2024 is the Year of the Wood Dragon, a combination that occurs only once every sixty years. In Chinese tradition, the Dragon is the most revered sign of the zodiac, while the Wood element is associated with growth, creativity, and prosperity.
Each coin arrives in a protective capsule, ready for display or long-term storage.
The Perth Mint's Australian Lunar Coin Series has been a fixture of the global precious metals market since its debut in 1996, combining annual design changes, precious metal purity, and Chinese zodiac themes.
The inaugural twelve-coin series established the framework for annual releases, sovereign legal tender status, and strong collector appeal. The 2000 Year of the Dragon issue was the first Dragon appearance and set the benchmark for future releases.
Upgraded silver purity to .9999 fine silver, expanded weight options and global recognition. The 2012 Dragon release was particularly popular.
The current series began in 2020 with the Year of the Rat. The 2024 Dragon represents the fifth release in this cycle.

Ing Ing Jong designed the 2024 Lunar Dragon with mythological grandeur and realism, balancing fantasy and believability within Lunar Series III. Her artwork appears across gold and silver formats, with distinct compositions for each metal.
The reverse showcases the dragon in flight, water cascading from its mouth, and a flaming pearl of wisdom. The Chinese character for Dragon (龙/龍) appears alongside a special "P125" mintmark commemorating The Perth Mint's 125th anniversary.
The obverse features the Queen Elizabeth II Memorial Obverse, depicting the Queen in right-facing profile wearing the George IV State Diadem. Inscriptions: "ELIZABETH II" · "1952–2022" · "AUSTRALIA" · "2 OZ 9999 Ag" · "2 DOLLARS". Official Australian legal tender with weight and purity guaranteed.
The Chinese dragon is a symbol of imperial authority, wisdom, prosperity, and control over water. 2024 is the rare Wood Dragon year, occurring once every 60 years, associated with growth, creativity, and opportunity.
2 troy oz of .9999 fine silver, official $2 AUD legal tender with sovereign backing. IRA eligible and historically strong secondary market appeal.
Fifth release in Lunar Series III, exclusive P125 mintmark, Year of the Wood Dragon, high artistic quality by Ing Ing Jong. Dragon-themed issues remain the most sought-after.
Dragon-year coins carry deep cultural significance, ideal for individuals born in Dragon years. Protective capsule included for gifting, display, or preservation.
