2024 2 oz Australia Perth Mint Mythical Creatures Dragon .9999 Silver Piedfort Coin

A Classic Western Dragon in Two Ounces of Pure Silver

The 2024 2 oz Australia Perth Mint Mythical Creatures Dragon .9999 Silver Piedfort Coin presents one of mythology's most recognizable creatures in an unusually substantial precious-metal format.

Struck from 2 troy ounces of .9999 fine silver, this Australian legal-tender issue uses a thick piedfort format, giving the coin significantly greater depth than a conventional one-ounce silver coin while retaining a compact 40.90 mm diameter. Australia's official specifications establish the coin at $2 AUD, at least 99.99% silver, and approximately 62.2 grams.

Rather than portraying the serpentine Chinese dragon seen on The Perth Mint's 2024 Lunar Series III coins, this issue features a dramatic winged Western-style dragon guarding its treasure hoard.

A Very Unusual Perth Mint Dragon

What makes this release particularly interesting is how easily it can be confused with the numerous other Perth Mint Dragon issues produced in 2024.

The combination of a Western winged dragon, treasure-hoard design, compact 40.90 mm piedfort format, two ounces of .9999 silver, King Charles III obverse and P125 anniversary mark makes this a substantially different piece from the Lunar Series III Dragon.

For collectors of Perth Mint silver, fantasy-themed coins, dragons, piedfort issues and unusual Australian bullion, the 2024 2 oz Mythical Creatures Dragon offers a distinctive combination of precious-metal content and dramatic design.
