The Australian Lunar Series, released in 1996, honors the 12 animal signs of the ancient lunar zodiac, which are supposed to determine personality traits, prospects, and compatibility. Dragons have been an essential symbol of luck, power, and strength in Chinese culture for thousands of years. Known for their boldness, determination, and brilliance, the Year of the Dragon people are ambitious, charming, and prosperous.

The coin's reverse features a dragon with water gushing from its mouth, stylized waves, and a wisdom symbol—a flaming pearl.

The 'P125' mintmark, which denotes The Perth Mint's 125th anniversary, the Chinese character for "dragon", and the words "DRAGON 2024" are all included in the design.

The coin’s obverse features the Jody Clark Memorial of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and the weight, fineness, and monetary denomination. Her reign dates, spanning from 1952 to 2022, are also included.

The coin's obverse and reverse are made on concave surfaces so that the best possible flow of metal during the die occurs. A skilled coin designer and Asian mythology specialist, Ing Ing Jong understands the importance of dragons, which is reflected in her stunning designs.
