2012 Perth Mint Lunar Dragon 2 oz Silver Coin (with Capsule)
The Perth Mint Lunar Series II from the Perth Mint is one of the most sought after collections in production today. This series honors twelve animals in the Chinese Lunar Calendar and was first introduced in 2008.
Since then the Silver Perth Lunar Series II features a different animal every year, starting with the mouse coin. These animals are said to have a profound influence on the personalities of people born under their rule. The Lunar Calendar presents traditions and symbolism in Chinese culture. The coin's obverse in this silver series is always the same, featuring the profile of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II as captured by Raphael Maklouf.
The Perth Mint is known for producing high-quality bullion coins, beautifully designed and superbly finished. For these reasons, these silver coins are great for investors looking to buy silver bullion at low premiums.
