Lunar Series III | Perth Mint 125th Anniversary | Limited Edition Display Card

Embrace the power, luck, and strength of the most auspicious sign in the Chinese Zodiac. This 2024 Red Dragon is a masterpiece from the Perth Mint’s world-famous Lunar Series III. Featuring a vivid red design—the color of joy and fortune—this coin is a breathtaking tribute to the only mythical creature in the zodiac.

✨ A Year of Prosperity and Celebration

• Vibrant Red Dragon Design: The reverse showcases a magnificent red dragon soaring through the clouds, chasing the “flaming pearl” of wisdom.¹ The rich crimson coloration symbolizes good luck and is traditionally used to ward off evil spirits.

• Special “P125” Anniversary Mint Mark: Unlike standard releases, this coin features a unique “P125” mint mark, celebrating the 125th Anniversary of the Perth Mint (1899–2024).² This adds a significant layer of historical value to the 2024 issue.

• Proof Quality Finish: Struck to a flawless proof standard, the mirrored silver fields provide a stunning contrast to the frosted and colorized elements.

• Lunar Series III Heritage: As part of the prestigious third cycle of the Perth Lunar series, this coin maintains the highest standards of numismatic artistry.

🛡️ Rarity & Presentation

While the dragon is a popular motif, this specific packaging and finish are reserved for a select few:

• The “Carded” Advantage: Although the coin has a larger total mintage, only 5,000 pieces are issued in this specific Themed Presentation Card, making this version a true collector’s item.

• Pure .9999 Silver: Struck in 1 oz of the purest silver available.

• Memorial Obverse: Features the Jody Clark effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, serving as a poignant historical record of her reign during the transition of the series.³
