The 2025 Perth Mint Silver Dragon Rectangular Coin blends two formats into one: a coin’s legal tender status and a bar’s efficient shape, struck in one troy ounce of 9999 fine silver. Backed by the Australian government with a $1 AUD face value, this rectangular issue continues Perth’s popular Dragon series, which draws steady demand from stackers and collectors of Eastern-themed silver alike.
Key Features:
- Purity and Weight: 1 troy ounce of 9999 fine silver
- Metal Type: Investment-grade silver bullion with a $1 AUD face value, IRA eligible
- Obverse: King Charles III effigy by Dan Thorne, with AUSTRALIA and the denomination
- Reverse: A Chinese dragon coiling across the full face of the coin, dated 2025
The obverse arranges its elements to suit the vertical format. CHARLES III spans the top edge above AUSTRALIA, with Dan Thorne’s left-facing portrait of the King at the center. Below the effigy sit the 1 DOLLAR face value and the technical inscription 1oz 9999 Ag, spelling out the coin’s weight and purity right on its face. A raised rim borders the entire rectangle.
The reverse uses the tall canvas to full effect. A Chinese dragon stares straight out from the center, flame-like whiskers and horns sweeping back from its face, while its serpentine body loops and crosses the entire field in bands of individually struck scales. Claws extend from beneath the coils, and the tapered tail whips toward the lower corner beside the 2025 date. Perth’s P mintmark sits in the upper right field. In Chinese tradition the dragon signifies power, wisdom, and good fortune, themes that have kept dragon silver in constant demand.
Each coin arrives in Brilliant Uncirculated condition. At 9999 fineness it exceeds IRS purity requirements and is fully eligible for precious metals IRAs. The rectangular shape stacks flat like a bar while carrying sovereign backing no private bar can match.
