The Perth Mint is delighted to present the Dragon 2026 1oz Silver Proof Coin, the latest release in the acclaimed series celebrating the creatures of myth and legend.

In many Eastern cultures, the dragon is regarded as a powerful, benevolent symbol of good fortune, strength, and wisdom. The Year of the Dragon is considered especially auspicious in Chinese astrology, and dragon imagery is deeply embedded in the art, culture, and traditions of many Asian nations. In the West, dragons are often depicted as fierce and majestic beasts, commanding respect and reverence across countless legends and stories.

The coin's reverse features a beautifully detailed dragon design, with scales and claws rendered in fine detail, the dragon depicted in a dynamic pose that conveys both power and grace. The design includes the inscription 'DRAGON' and The Perth Mint's 'P' mintmark, together with the coin's weight, fineness and 2026 year-date.

The obverse bears the Dan Thorne effigy of His Majesty King Charles III, and the coin's monetary denomination.
