The dragon is an ancient and mystical creature understood in different terms by various cultures around the world. In Chinese culture, the dragon is a revered creature that is believed to have a divine origin. It has simultaneously been used as a symbol of power and strength, making it popular among former emperors, but also as a symbol of wealth and good fortune to average Chinese citizens.

On the reverse of 2018 1 oz Australian Gold Dragon Coins, you’ll find the image of a dragon whose body slithers up the vertical length of the bar. Included in the design is a flaming pearl which the dragon chases. There are background design elements reflective of the dragon’s association with control of the weather, wind, and water. Blowing clouds and crashing waves of water are depicted within the design.

The obverse side of 2018 Australian Gold Dragon Coins includes the right-profile portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. Her Majesty is depicted in the fourth-generation British design created in 1998 by Ian Rank-Broadley for the Royal Mint of England. The design has been in use on British and Australian coinage since 1998. There is a sunburst design behind the Queen’s bust and engravings of her name, the nation of issue, weight, purity, metal content, face value, and year of issue for the coin.
