Silver Ten Ounces 2021 Chinese Myths and Legends - Double Dragon, Coin from Australia
CoinSilver Ten Ounces 2021 Chinese Myths and Legends - Double Dragon

The Australian ten ounces silver piece (abbreviated as 10 oz and designated with Ag for "silver") 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 coin is part of the Perth Mint's Chinese Myths and Legends series, and features a Double Dragon. It has the same design as a one-ounce coin issued the year before.

The Mint says about it:
Showcasing a stylised portrayal of China’s most legendary creature, this spectacular 10oz silver coin is certain to be popular among enthusiasts of oriental themes.

An ancient symbol of power, fortune and wealth, the dragon is one of the most revered creatures in oriental cultures. Believed to hold dominion over the divine realm, these mythical animals are traditionally portrayed among clouds in pursuit of a spiritual orb known as a flaming pearl, a metaphor for wisdom and enlightenment.

Obverse
Australia / Silver Ten Ounces 2021 Chinese Myths and Legends - Double Dragon - obverse photo

The obverse of the coin depicts the crowned old bust of Queen Elizabeth II facing right, wearing the Royal Diamond Diadem crown worn for her Coronation (effigy known as the "Fifth Portrait" worldwide but "Sixth Portrait" in Australia, where the Queen's portrait by Vladimir Gottwald was fifth).

The Queen also wears the Coronation Necklace; originally made for Queen Victoria in 1858, it was also worn at the coronations (as Queen's Consort) of Queen Alexandra in 1902, Queen Mary in 1911 and Queen Elizabeth (the Queen mother) in 1937.

Unlike on British coinage, the effigy is "uncouped" (includes the Queen's shoulders). In small letters on the left, the artist's initials JC (for Jody Clark).

Running continuously around the rim is the monarch's legend, the date of issue and the face value: ELIZABETH II AUSTRALIA 10oz 9999 Ag 2021 1 DOLLARS.

The inscription around the rim also incorporates the precious metal content. "1 oz 9999 Ag" means "one troy ounce of 99.99% silver" - Ag is abbreviated from the Latin word for silver, Argentum.

Below right is the Perth Mint’s P mint mark. On the dragon's leg below, the designer's initials JM, for Jennifer McKenna.
