Containing both a numismatic and intrinsic value, it's hard to pass up this phenomenal series!

Based off of the legend, dragons contain a lofty reputation among Chinese culture, both ancient and present. The Dragon represents honor, dignity, and power. Folklore also speaks of the Dragon as an insurmountable beast, that enslaves whoever dares to challenge it with its breath of fire. Ancient Chinese rulers would prefer their names to be "dragon", since it represents authority and immortality. Those born under the Dragon year are known to be energetic, smart, and do not give up during hard times. Of course, with the Dragon also comes the fire so people born under the Dragon year are also known to have a fiery temper. The obverse of the Australian Lunar Gold 1 oz Gold 2000 Dragon pictures Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and with the coin's monetary value. The reverse is the stunning part of this series, beautifully displaying the animals assigned to every year. The reverse displays a traditional Chinese dragon, each scale delicately in place, with its eye on a pearl. The pearl represents wisdom and longevity, in Chinese culture, and is the eye of the prize for this powerful dragon. The reverse is also etched with the coin's date of mintage, gold purity, and weight. The Australian Lunar Gold 1 oz Gold 2000 Dragon is encapsulated in an airtight capsule, protecting its flawless brilliant uncirculated finish.
