The Australian ten ounces gold piece (abbreviated as 10 oz and designated with Au for "gold") is a bullion coin format. Uniquely, in Australia there are two mints authorised to strike legal tender: the Royal Australian Mint (which also makes the country's circulating coinage) and the Perth Mint which only makes collector and bullion coins, as well as other bullion products. Both mints endeavour to create coins with attractive designs, and to introduce new designs and themes often, in order to raise the numismatic value of the coins over the value of previous metal used. This ten-ounce gold coin with a face value of $1,000 (one thousand dollars) was issued as part of the Perth Mint's Lunar Series III to mark the 2024 Chinese Year of the Dragon (10 February 2024 - 28 January 2025).
