2012 1 oz Gold Lunar Year of The Dragon BU Australia Perth Mint In Cap

Step into the powerful symbolism of the 2012 Gold Lunar Dragon, a celebrated release from the Perth Mint’s second Lunar series. Struck in .9999 fine gold and weighing 1 troy ounce, this Brilliant Uncirculated coin captures the strength, mystique, and cultural reverence associated with one of the most iconic animals in the Chinese zodiac—the dragon. With its limited mintage and discontinued production, this coin remains a cornerstone for collectors of modern numismatics and Lunar-themed gold issues.

In Chinese tradition, the dragon represents wisdom, nobility, and divine power—a creature often linked with emperors and the heavens themselves. Those born in the Year of the Dragon (including 2012, 2000, 1988, and 1976) are believed to be ambitious, charismatic, and natural leaders, making this coin especially meaningful as a personal keepsake or cultural heirloom
