In both Eastern and Western traditions, dragons are often portrayed as guardians of gold and other treasures.
Each coin is struck by The Perth Mint from 1oz of 99.99% pure silver and issued as legal tender under the Australian Currency Act 1965. Â The Perth Mint will release no more than 250,000 of the Dragon 2023 1oz Silver Bullion Rectangular Coin.
