2000 1/10 oz Proof Gold Lunar Dragon Australia Perth Mint NGC PF 70 UCAM
Celebrate the legendary Year of the Dragon with the 2000 1/10 oz Proof Gold Lunar Dragon Australia Perth Mint NGC PF 70 UCAM. This rare and highly collectible Australian gold coin represents the fifth release in The Perth Mint's original 12-coin Lunar Series I, one of the most celebrated modern precious metals programs. Struck from 1/10 troy oz of .9999 fine gold, this exceptional Proof coin features intricate dragon artwork and has earned the prestigious NGC PF 70 Ultra Cameo (UCAM) designation. Its perfect grade, limited original production, and connection to the sought-after Lunar Series I make it an outstanding addition to a collection of certified world gold coins.
Released in 2000, the Year of the Dragon marked the fifth installment in this original series, following the Mouse, Ox, Tiger, and Rabbit. The Dragon is particularly significant in Chinese culture, where it symbolizes power, wisdom, prosperity, strength, and good fortune.
Unlike the other eleven zodiac animals, the Dragon is a mythical creature, traditionally associated with imperial authority and auspicious beginnings. Its cultural importance has made Dragon-themed precious metals especially popular among collectors of Asian-inspired numismatic designs. The original Lunar Series I concluded with the Year of the Pig in 2007, making earlier releases such as the 2000 Dragon desirable additions for collectors seeking to complete the historic twelve-animal collection.
