2018 Australia 2-oz Silver Figure Eight Dragon Antiqued

Bring Some Luck into Your Collection

Few cultures have the age and continuous history of the Chinese, so it is little wonder that coins based on Chinese history and traditions are so popular. While designs honoring Chinese culture, including lunar year coins, are extremely popular, fewer are shaped to honor their symbols. In fact, this 2018 Australia two ounce Silver Dragon Antiqued coin is the first ever coin to be shaped like a figure 8. The coin is meant to be lucky because both the number eight and the dragon symbolize good fortune. The two dragons that are wrapped around one another on the obverse also hold coins to accentuate the point. For any collector looking for a little luck, this 2018 Australia 2-oz Silver Figure 8 Dragon Antique is a great choice.

• FIRST EVER FIGURE 8 COIN -- This 2018 Figure 8 Shaped Dragon Antiqued Coin is the world’s first figure 8 shaped coin, making it perfect for collectors who like firsts.

• A LUCKY CHOICE – This coin features a pair of important symbols from Chinese culture. The Chinese word for the number eight is very similar to its word for good fortune and money, “fa.” The dragon is also a symbol of good fortune and wealth, as well as power.

• A LIMITED MINTAGE – Fittingly for a coin shaped like a figure 8, this coin has a maximum mintage of 8,888 pieces.

When it comes to beauty, execution, and innovation, the Perth Mint is second to none.
