2012 Australia 1/2 oz Silver Lunar Dragon

The dragon is the only animal that represents power, good fortune, luck, and success all in one. Those born under the dragon have integrity, do not participate in gossip or slander, and have a positive energy about them. Of course with the strengths come the weaknesses. Like how the dragon breathes fire, the person born under the year of the dragon is known to have a fiery temper when crossed. Being the most iconic symbol of the Chinese culture, the dragon represents prosperity in a time of famine. When a dragon is featured on an item and given as a gift, it resembles a wish of good fortune and prosperity to the recipient.

The dragon featured on this half ounce silver coin is anything but approachable. The furious dragon is unleashing its fiery breath onto whoever dares to hold this coin. Coin collectors love the incredible designs of these coins, making them more than just a silver coin. "Year of the dragon" is inscribed underneath the dragon, along with the Chinese symbol for dragon, and the "P" mintmark proving it was minted at the Perth Mint. The obverse presents a stunning portrait of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. This portrait was designed by the famous sculptor, Ian Rank-Broadley, who desired to honor the Queen's aging rather than hide it. The proof-like obverse contains the Queen Elizabeth II's side portrait along with the coin's denomination of "50 cents," the coin's place of origin "Australia", the coin's purity, "1 oz .999 silver," and the date of "2012." The Australian Lunar Series II is a harmoniously crafted coin collection that satisfies every coin collector's needs and wants in one single coin. This series has an incredibly low mintage and along with the remarkably designed features, every one who is looking to buy silver online needs to consider this series.
