Lunar Series II 2012 Year of the Dragon 1/10 oz

Lunar Series Bullion Coin - Year of the Dragon 2012 1/10 oz Gold Coin

The Australian Lunar series of gold coins epitomises The Perth Mint's rich tradition of minting bullion coins portraying Chinese themes. The reverse design on this year's releases marks the 2012 Year of the Dragon, one of 12 animals associated with the ancient Chinese lunar calendar.

The Chinese character for 'dragon' and the inscription 'Year of the Dragon' appear in the design with The Perth Mint's traditional 'P' mintmark.

No mintage limit applies to 1 kilo, 10oz, 2oz, 1/2oz, 1/4oz, 1/10oz and 1/20oz coins coins. However, production of these coins will close at the end of 2011, when The Perth Mint will declare each coin's official mintage.

The Perth Mint will produce no more than 30,000 1oz coins. Production will cease when the mintage is fully sold or at the end of the series, whichever comes first.
