Platinum Ounce 2024 Chinese Myths and Legends - Dragon and Koi, Coin from Australia - detailed information

The Australian one ounce platinum piece (abbreviated as 1 oz and designated with Pt for "Platinum") 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 one ounce platinum coin with a face value of $100 was issued as part of the Perth Mint's extensive Chinese Myths and Legends range dedicated to Chinese traditional themes, and features a Dragon and a Koi Fish.

The mint says about it:
The Perth Mint proudly presents the exquisite 1oz platinum reverse proof coin, featuring an intricate design of a dragon and koi. In Chinese mythology, the dragon symbolizes power, strength, wealth, and good fortune, while the koi represents harmony and happiness, and is considered an auspicious symbol for marriage and fertility. The flame-ringed pearl, observed by both creatures, embodies ancient wisdom.

Each coin is meticulously struck by The Perth Mint from 1oz of 99.95% pure platinum and is issued as legal tender under the Australian Currency Act 1965. The Perth Mint will release a highly limited mintage of only 150 of these Chinese Myths and Legends Dragon and Koi 2024 1oz Platinum Reverse Proof Coins.
