Celebrate The Year Of The Dragon With A Flaming White Dragon

Unlike the malevolent Western dragons that used to roam Europe kidnapping fair maidens, battling brave knights, and laying waste to entire villages; the Chinese or Eastern dragon was—and still is—a sign of wealth and good fortune. The emperors of China believed they were descendants of a dragon and regarded the creature as a symbol of power and royal dignity. Supremely intelligent, Chinese dragons are always in the pursuit of knowledge as represented by a flaming pearl of wisdom.

Colorized Dragon Coins From Australia’s Perth Mint

To celebrate 2024 being the Year of the Dragon, Australia’s world-renowned Perth Mint has released a series of colorized dragon coins that show the mythical beast seeking out the Flaming Pearl of Wisdom. Part of Australia’s Lunar Series III coins, each of the eight coins in the release features a slightly different version of an Eastern Dragon as well as a different color selection. Here you can secure the White Dragon. Included in the design is the Chinese character for “dragon,” and a “P125” mintmark signifying the Perth Mint’s 125th anniversary. The coin’s obverse shows the memorial portrait of Queen Elizabeth II supplemented with the dates of her reign “1952–2022.”
