Gold Bar Coin Dragon 1 oz Gold 2026
The Dragon 1 oz Gold Minted Bar Coin 2026 is a prestigious bullion issue produced by The Perth Mint, inspired by one of the most recognizable symbols from the world of myths and legends. Struck from 1 ounce of pure Au 9999 gold, this minted bar coin combines investment value with striking design, presented in a distinctive rectangular format.
For centuries, the dragon has held a special place in cultures around the world. In Western tradition, it is depicted as a powerful, winged, fire-breathing beast, while in Eastern cultures it symbolizes strength, wisdom, prosperity, and good fortune. In many Asian countries, the dragon is regarded as a sign of luck, success, and protection, making it one of the most important motifs used in art and numismatics.
The minted bar coin has been struck from 1 ounce of pure Au 9999 gold and carries a face value of 100 Australian dollars. Its dimensions are 41.60 x 24.60 mm, and the maximum mintage has been limited to just 8,888 pieces. An additional security feature confirming authenticity is a micro-engraved mark placed on the reverse, visible only under suitable magnification.
Obverse features the official effigy of King Charles III designed by Dan Thorne. The background is decorated with radiant lines, while the design is complemented by the inscriptions “CHARLES III AUSTRALIA,” information on the weight and fineness of the gold, and the face value.
Reverse depicts a finely detailed oriental dragon with outstretched wings, open claws, and richly ornamented scales. The dynamic composition emphasizes the strength, majesty, and symbolic significance of this legendary creature. The design is completed by the year of issue 2026 and The Perth Mint’s “P” mintmark.
