Collectors looking for a different shape in their silver stack have a standout option in this 2026 1 oz Silver Dragon Bar, struck by The Perth Mint in Australia’s distinctive rectangular bullion format. It combines investment-grade silver weight with a continuation of one of the mint’s most popular annual dragon designs.
Key Features:
- Purity and weight: 1 troy oz of .9999 fine silver
- Metal: Silver, struck in rectangular bar format
- Reverse: A detailed Chinese dragon design with the 2026 date and Perth Mint “P” mark
- Obverse: King Charles III effigy with the $1 AUD denomination, standard for this series
The reverse shows a serpentine dragon coiled across the bar in two long, sweeping loops, its body covered in individually struck scales from neck to tail. The head sits at the upper left with horns, whiskers, and an open jaw, while clawed feet with sharp talons reach out at several points along the body. A small “P” mint mark appears near the top right, “JM” appears lower on the bar, and the date “2026” is struck along the bottom edge.
The obverse of this issue carries the current Perth Mint effigy of King Charles III along with the coin’s $1 AUD denomination, consistent with the series since the 2023 release. As legal tender backed by the Government of Western Australia, the coin carries the full weight of sovereign guarantee in addition to its silver content.
Struck in the mint’s signature rectangular shape, this bar stands apart from traditional round coins while still functioning as full legal tender. The dragon’s ongoing yearly redesign gives long-term collectors a fresh piece to add each year, while the high purity and recognized mint backing keep it appealing to straightforward silver buyers as well. Add this 2026 Silver Dragon Bar to your collection today and own a piece of one of the Perth Mint’s most distinctive series.
