📖 Story / Theme – Year of the Dragon
The Dragon is the fifth animal of the Chinese zodiac and is regarded as the most powerful and auspicious sign in Chinese culture. Those born under the Dragon sign are traditionally believed to possess confidence, bravery, passion, and strong leadership qualities.
In Chinese symbolism, the dragon represents strength, prosperity, and success, while the colour red is associated with good fortune, celebration, and happiness.
🎨 Design Description
The reverse portrays a magnificent red dragon coiled protectively around a symbolic pearl of wisdom. The intricate colour application highlights the dragon’s scales, claws, and flowing form, creating a visually dramatic presentation.
The pearl symbolises wisdom and enlightenment, reinforcing the cultural significance of the design. Also included are The Perth Mint’s traditional ‘P’ mintmark and the coin’s inscriptions.
The obverse features the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, together with the 2012 year-date and monetary denomination, confirming the coin’s status as Australian legal tender.
