The 2025 Gold Dragon from The Perth Mint blurs the line between coin and bar: a rectangular piece struck in one troy ounce of 9999 fine gold that carries a $100 face value as Australian legal tender. Investors get bar-style stackability with sovereign coin backing, while the dragon artwork draws collectors of Asian-themed bullion, a combination that has made this series a consistent sell-out since its debut.
Key Features:
- 1 oz of 9999 fine gold in a rectangular coin format
- Australian legal tender with a $100 face value
- Obverse: King Charles III portrait
- Reverse: a Chinese dragon coiling across the full face, dated 2025
The reverse gives the dragon room a round coin cannot. The creature winds across the entire rectangle in sweeping S-curves, its serpentine body covered in individually struck scales, spined fins running its length. The head fills the center, horns branching like antlers, whiskers trailing, eyes fixed forward above bared teeth, with one clawed foot reaching outward. The P mintmark sits in the upper field and 2025 anchors the corner. In Chinese tradition the dragon commands rain and rivers and stands for strength, prosperity, and good fortune, symbolism that keeps these pieces moving as gifts as well as investments. The obverse presents the right-facing effigy of King Charles III between CHARLES III and AUSTRALIA, with 100 DOLLARS and 1oz 9999 Au at the base.
Each piece arrives in Brilliant Uncirculated condition sealed in a fitted acrylic capsule, its rectangular shape stacking as neatly as any minted bar while the struck-in specifications and legal tender status simplify authentication and resale.
Dragon rectangles combine Perth Mint prestige, efficient storage, and artwork with global pull. Order the 2025 1 oz Gold Dragon Bar Coin today, because this series rarely waits around.
