Made from pure silver, the Australian Lunar Series coin is a prestigious acquisition or gift for anyone born under the Chinese lunar sign of the Dragon.
\nThe Australian Lunar Series coin series, first issued in 1996 and now in its third round, depicts 12 animals from the ancient lunar calendar. The annual drawings of the mouse, bull, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, goat, monkey, rooster, dog, and pig are depicted in sequence according to the position they took in the Emperor’s Great Race. In fifth position was the dragon.
\nThe Chinese or Oriental dragon, composed of real animals, has the scales of a carp, the tail of a whale, the horns of a deer, the muzzle of a camel, the claws of an eagle, the ears of a bull, and the legs of a tiger. And despite having demon-like eyes, this legendary beast is not a vengeful creature, rather, it is known for its kindness and warmth. The Chinese dragon can control typhoons, water, rain and floods. Dragons are so revered in Eastern culture that it is common knowledge that Chinese emperors are descended from dragons. The dragon is the most popular sign of the Chinese zodiac.
\nThis coin is the perfect way to congratulate a friend or loved one born in the year of the Dragon: 1928, 1940, 1952, 1964, 1976, 1988, 2000, 2012, 2024.
