Silver Bar Coin Dragon 1 oz Silver 2026

The 2026 Dragon 1 oz Silver Rectangular Coin-Bar is a striking bullion issue produced by The Perth Mint, inspired by one of the most recognizable creatures from the world of legends and mythology. Struck from 1 ounce of pure .9999 fine silver, this rectangular coin-bar combines the classic features of an investment coin with a modern rectangular format that perfectly showcases the intricacy of the design.

For centuries, the dragon has held a special place in cultures around the world. In Western tradition, it is depicted as a powerful, winged beast breathing fire, while in Eastern cultures it symbolizes strength, prosperity, wisdom, and abundance. Particularly in Asian countries, the dragon is regarded as one of the most positive and revered mythical creatures, serving as a symbol of good fortune and success.

The coin-bar is struck from 1 ounce of pure .9999 fine silver and carries a face value of 1 Australian dollar. Its dimensions are 47.60 x 27.60 mm, and its maximum mintage has been limited to 250,000 pieces. An additional security feature confirming authenticity is a micro-engraved mark on the reverse, visible only under suitable magnification.

Obverse: features the official effigy of King Charles III designed by Dan Thorne. Radiating lines appear in the background, while the design is complemented by the inscriptions “CHARLES III AUSTRALIA,” details of the weight and silver fineness, 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 and majesty of the legendary creature. The design is completed by the year of issue, 2026, and The Perth Mint’s “P” mintmark.
