2021 Australia $1 1-oz Silver Dragon Bar Proof

Fourth Year Of Perth Mint’s Silver Dragon Bars

Holding a preeminent place in Chinese culture, the dragon looms large over such things as terrain, life, and energy. Some believe that he brings the waters of rain, the warmth of sunshine, water, and earth. Some even say that the mountains, valleys, rivers, buildings, and highways correlate to the creature’s head, claws, tail, veins. For centuries, even the Chinese emperors referred to themselves as “dragons.”

A Ferocious-Looking Dragon Dominates The Design

Now, the Perth Mint has introduced the fourth release in its first ever rectangular bullion coin series with the 2021 Australia One-Ounce Silver Dragon Bar. Struck in a full ounce of highly-pure 99.99% silver, the new coin features a ferocious-looking dragon that is the most terrifying of any so far in the series. Its large face dominates the design with its body coiled behind it to create a figure eight.

The Perth Mint’s famous “P” mintmark can be seen in the upper right corner. The coin’s weight, fineness, denomination and 2021 year date are shown on the obverse along with an effigy of Queen Elizabeth II. Plus, each rectangular coin available in this offer is a $1 legal-tender and comes in gorgeous Proof condition, meaning they were expertly crafted by the mint from hand-selected planchets, polished dies and multiple strikes to produce beautifully frosted details rising over mirror-like fields.
