1 oz Lunar II Black Dragon WMF Show Special Silver 2012

This exclusive World Money Fair Coin Show Special from the Perth Mint comprises the 2012 Australian Lunar Series II Year of the Dragon – Water Dragon coin.

The birth dates for people ruled by the Chinese Lunar dragon include 1916, 1928, 1940, 1952, 1964, 1976, 1988, 2000 and 2012. Those born under the influence of this sign are said to be confident, enterprising, independent, self-assured, brave and passionate.

The reverse of the coin depicts a black dragon with red detailing and a representation of a 'pearl of wisdom'. The colour black is regarded as highly spiritual and most fundamental of all colours; it also has deep significance and connection to the element of water.

The obverse of the coin bears the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and the monetary denomination.

Struck from 1oz of 99.9% pure silver in specimen quality, this coin is issued as legal tender under the Australian Currency Act 1965.
