Silver Lunar Dragon Proof
The Austrailian Perth Mint has released a new coin in the lunar series 2, the silver lunar Dragon coin, struck from .999 pure silver in bullion and proof quality, the 2012 releases are available as individual 1oz and 1 kilo coins and a three-coin set comprising 2oz, 1oz and 1/2oz coins. The Lunar Dragon is the fifth in the Lunar series II silver coins, and as before the Lunar Dragon will sell out very quickly and for a higher than usual premium. There will be a limit of only 5000 silver proofs of the Dragon to be minted and 500 1kg sized coins, the popularity of this coin will make it very difficult to get hold of. The reverse of each coin will depict a traditional Chinese dragon a long scaled serpentine creature with four legs, with a pearl of wisdom. The Chinese character for dragon and the inscription Year of the Dragon will also appear in the design with The Perth Mints traditional P mintmark...
