Perth Mint Lunar Year of the Dragon 1oz silver coin

[pmbug]

I bought a couple of these coins recently and just received them.  I think they look pretty amazing in person.  Photos of them on the net don't really do them justice. 

The background is actually a light frosting texture.  The scales on the dragon are shiny like mirrors and really pop.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Iv had this on my radar for a while. Waiting for a seller with a few items before pressing the button.

@Johnboysilver is doing these for £28, he has several other items available AFAIK. I haven't seen them lower than £28

Perth Mint are premium quality, in my opinion, hence the high price, I can't wait to receive the 1oz Kookaburra's 2024 on Monday...

Here's a photo I took that shows the lustre a bit better.  This used a flattened light source, but I put a little strip of black paper in front to produce some contrast that reflects in the device.

Great pic @Silverlocks~  Really shows off the three tones/finishes - the shiny scales, the frosty background and the flat, but not shiny/polished elements (fire, planet, waves)

purty!

Should be picking one of these up soon as a work anniversary gift, and can't wait. Had a few options to choose from, but will always go Perth Mint where available.

They do indeed, they actually do a dragon privy for all of the series III, including a unique privy for the 2020 mouse

I was surprised the 2024 dragon with dragon privy with 30k mintage was cheaper than the regular dragon 24 with 300k mintage?

Are those with privy marks less desirable? Think I managed a pre-order of 20 with the privy mark

BTW love the site

[Skelator88]

Loving the dragon variations 

 

 

[ccfcpaul]

usually don't like coloured coins myself.... although these are very cool

[Skelator88]

Not that it’s quite relevant for this particular release but back in 2012 there was about 15 different variations of the Perth lunar dragon maybe more

 

2024 I think there is 8 so far!!

There’s a quick snap of 9 of the official coloured 2012s then you have the ANDA coin shows in Melbourne and Brisbane and maybe other cities, then the standard silver,gilt,proof
