Celebrating the Power and Prestige of the Dragon

Family-owned since 1915, GR Reserve brings collectors the finest limited-edition coins from around the globe. The 2024 Australia Lunar Series – Year of the Dragon 1 oz Silver Colorized Proof Coin honors the fifth animal in the Chinese zodiac with a vivid, high-quality proof strike. Struck by The Perth Mint, this release combines cultural symbolism, numismatic artistry, and exceptional silver purity.

The Dragon’s Legendary Place in the Zodiac

In Chinese culture, the dragon represents wisdom, enlightenment, benevolence, and prosperity. For centuries, it was associated with emperors and believed to control rain and water—ensuring abundant harvests and wealth. According to legend, the emperor once called a great race to decide the order of the zodiac. Leading the race, the dragon paused to create rain for the people, ultimately finishing in fifth place.

Those born under the sign of the Dragon—2024, 2012, 2000, 1988, 1976, and every twelfth year prior—are said to be ambitious, charismatic, and destined for success.

Striking Design and Proof Finish

The reverse features a full-color depiction of a powerful dragon with water flowing from its mouth. Stylized waves and a flaming pearl—a symbol of wisdom—enhance the composition. The design also includes the Chinese character for “dragon,” the inscription “DRAGON 2024,” and the “P125” mintmark marking The Perth Mint’s 125th anniversary.

On the obverse, the Jody Clark Memorial effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II appears alongside the dates of her reign, the coin’s weight, purity, and denomination.
