2012 Proof Silver Year of the Dragon – High Relief

The First Coin of the Lunar High Relief Series

These superb Silver Lunar Series II coins from the Perth Mint have been highly sought-after by collectors ever since they released the first Lunar series in the late-1990s. These limited mintage coins are not only great investment coins, but perfect gifts for people born in the Year of the Dragon – 1940, 1952, 1964, 1976, 1988, 2000 and 2012 – who are regarded as confident, enterprising, independent, self-assured, brave and passionate.

The reverse of each coin depicts a Chinese dragon, a long, scaled, serpentine creature with four legs, and a 'pearl of wisdom'. The Chinese character for 'dragon' and the inscription 'Year of the Dragon' also appear in the design with The Perth Mint’s traditional 'P' mintmark.

Issued as legal tender under the Australian Currency Act 1965, each coin features the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II on its obverse.

Each coin and set is accompanied by a numbered Certificate of Authenticity.

Australian Lunar silver proof coins are housed in stylish black and red display cases. Each case comes in an illustrated box (or shipping sleeve).
