2020 Australia $1 1-oz Silver Dragon Bar Proof NGC PF70UC First Releases

Third 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.”

Now, the Perth Mint has introduced the third release in its first ever rectangular coin series with the 2020 Australia One-Ounce Silver Dragon Bar. Struck in a full ounce of highly-pure 99.99% silver, the new coin features a pair of traditional Eastern dragons on the reverse chasing the flaming Pearl of Wisdom. The Perth Mint’s famous “P” mintmark can be seen in the lower left corner. The coin’s weight, fineness, denomination and 2020 year date are shown on the obverse along with an effigy of Queen Elizabeth II.

Each Chinese Dragon Bar available in this offer has been graded by the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC) as being in flawless Proof-70 (PF70) condition, a distinction that means these perfectly-graded proofs have ZERO imperfections — showing all features and fields exactly as the engraver and mint intended. In addition, NGC has certified that this piece is a First Releases (FR) silver bar, a designation that means these silver bars were received by NGC or an NGC-approved depository within the first 30 days of their release.
