The 2012 1oz Gold Australian Lunar Series II Bullion Coin celebrates the Year of the Dragon in The Perth Mint’s Chinese zodiac bullion programme. Struck in one troy ounce of .9999 fine gold, it combines Australian legal tender status, Perth Mint production quality and a changing annual lunar reverse that appeals to both bullion investors and date-run collectors. The Year of the Dragon is a standout Lunar Series II date because dragon designs usually attract stronger collector demand than many standard animal years.
