{{/presale}}Since 2018, Perth Mint’s Rectangular Dragon Coins have been a favorite among collectors. These coins are unique with their bar-like shape and annual redesign of the Chinese Dragon. The 2024 release is special because it features His Majesty King Charles III for the first time. You can now buy the 2024 Australian Rectangular Dragon 1 oz Gold Coins at Provident Metals.
Highlights:
The 2024 Australian Rectangular Dragon 1 oz Gold Coins are offered in Brilliant Uncirculated condition. Each coin comes in an individual protective acrylic capsule and has a limited mintage of 8,888 coins, a number that is very lucky in Chinese culture.
Obverse
The obverse of the 2024 Australian Rectangular Dragon Gold Coins features His Majesty King Charles III. This is the first time His Majesty appears on this series. The portrait, created by Dan Thorne, shows King Charles III in a left-profile view, dressed in a simple suit without a crown. The inscriptions on this side read CHARLES III, AUSTRALIA, 100 DOLLARS, and 1 OZ 9999 AU.
Reverse
The reverse side of the 2024 Rectangular Dragon 1 oz Gold Coin depicts the mythical Chinese dragon with its eyes locked on a flaming pearl. The background includes stylized water and clouds, representing the elements the dragon controls and symbols of good luck. Inscriptions here read 2024 and the P125 mint mark.
History
Dragons are very closely associated with water in Chinese culture and mythology. The Jiaolong is a specific type of Chinese dragon associated with flood control. Unlike other dragons, it lacks horns. In Chinese mythology, the Jiaolong was said to live in the Yellow River and could cause flooding if angered. Consequently, it was often depicted on bridges and other water-related structures as a form of protection and appeasement.
