This 1oz silver proof coin from the Lunar Silver Coins Series III from The Perth Mint gains even more beauty when meticulously colorized.

Celebrating the Year of the Dragon, the coin features a traditional Chinese dragon, a long, scaled, serpentine creature with four legs, with 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 2012 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.

Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and the monetary denomination are shown on the obverse.

Comes in display box with a certificate of authenticity.
