{{/presale}}In 2018, The Perth Mint launched its Australian Dragon series. The release immediately garnered attention, as it was the first coin of its kind to be minted in a rectangular shape. According to the mint, the rectangular shape is the ideal canvas for capturing the long, winding body of the dragon. Take one look at this coin and you will most certainly agree. Provident Metals now has 2022 Proof Australian Rectangular Dragon 1 oz Silver Coins available to you for purchase online.

Obverse
On the obverse face of 2022 Proof Australian Rectangular Dragon Silver Coins, youll see an effigy of Queen Elizabeth II. Designed by Jody Clark in 2015, this portrait captures the Queen in right-profile relief with the George IV State Diadem sitting atop her head. You will also find inscriptions on the obverse reading ELIZABETH II, AUSTRALIA, 1 OZ .9999 AG 1 DOLLAR 2022.
Reverse
The reverse of the 2022 Proof Rectangular Dragon 1 oz Silver Coin features a dragon. The creatures body winds all the way down the field as it reaches for a flaming orb. This impressive design perfectly captures the majestic, yet mysterious quality of this revered mythical creature. Inscribed on the reverse is the letter P, which is the mintmark for Perth.
History
Dragons are so revered in Eastern culture that they are even featured in the Chinese zodiac. Because they are associated with luck and prosperity, many parents strive for children born in the Year of the Dragon. These ancient mythical creatures also appear in numerous Chinese proverbs and idioms, with a few common examples being a dragon among men and to wish your son becomes a dragon. While Western depictions of dragons are built around fear and destruction, it is clear that in Eastern cultures, the dragon plays a far different, more edifying role.
