2000 Silver Lunar I Year of the Dragon 1oz MS70
With only 118,697 of these coins minted, these 1 oz Australian Silver Year of the Dragon coin make a great way to commemorate anything that happened in 2000. These Silver coins are the second release in the 12 coin series.
Obverse: The Ian Rank-Broadley likeness of her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, purity of .999 fine Silver and the monetary denomination are shown.
Reverse: Designed by Tony Dean, the coin features a traditional Chinese dragon as a long, scaled and serpentine creature with four legs, a ‘pearl of wisdom’ and the Chinese character for ‘dragon’.
The dragon is known for its strength, beauty and noble nature. These traits are flawlessly portrayed in the Perth Mint's 2000 Silver Year of the Dragon coin. Not only is the dragon the only mythical creature in the Chinese zodiac, it is also one of the most popular in the entire series.
