Silver Ten Ounces 2025 Chinese Myths and Legends - Dragon, Coin from Australia - detailed information

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 Chinese Dragon.

The Mint says about it:
Traditionally seen as the embodiment of the Emperor, the Chinese dragon is esteemed for its benevolence, nobility, and as a powerful symbol of prosperity and good fortune. It is characterized by its serpentine form, fish-like scales, eagle-like talons, and a horned head with striking demonic eyes. Historically, it is often depicted with a pearl, a coveted treasure symbolizing energy, opportunity, and immortality.
