Silver Two Kilos 2022 Dragon and Tiger, Coin from Australia - detailed information

The obverse of the coin depicts the crowned old head of Queen Elizabeth II facing right, wearing the Royal Diamond Diadem crown and the Victoria Coronation necklace worn for her Coronation. This is her effigy known as the "Fifth Portrait" worldwide and "Sixth Portrait" in Australia, in "uncouped" version - showing the Queen's shoulders and not terminating at the neck as the normal version.

On the left, in small letters on the Queen's shoulder, the artist's initials J.C (for Jody Clark).

Running continuously around the rim is the monarch's legend and the face value: ELIZABETH II AUSTRALIA · 60 DOLLARS ·.

The background of the rim is a guilloché pattern.

Struck in high relief with an antiqued finish, the coin portrays the head of a tiger and the head of a dragon. The indomitable nature of each creature, expressed through their formidable eyes and menacing jaws, embodies the equilibrium of their relationship.

The design includes a patterned ring around the animals, within which can be seen The Perth Mint’s P mint mark. The designer's initials NH (for Neil Hollis) are on the left, on a flame coming from the dragon's head.

Around above, the inscription DRAGON AND TIGER. Around below, the date of issue and precious metal content: 2022 2 KILO 9999 SILVER (two kilograms of 99.99% silver).
