Discover one of the most celebrated releases from the Perth Mint's original Lunar collection with the 2000 1 oz $100 Australia Gold Lunar Year of the Dragon NGC MS 69. Struck from 1 troy oz of .9999 fine gold, this impressive coin honors the Year of the Dragon, a powerful symbol of prosperity, strength, and good fortune in Chinese culture. Its desirable millennium date, original Series I design, and near-perfect NGC MS 69 certification make it an exceptional choice for collectors of Australian gold and Lunar-themed coinage.
Introduced in 1996, the Perth Mint's Australian Lunar Gold Series I became a popular collection celebrating the twelve animals of the Chinese zodiac. Each annual release featured a unique animal design, combining traditional Chinese symbolism with the craftsmanship of Australian precious metals coinage. The 2000 Year of the Dragon was the fifth release in the series and remains particularly appealing because of its highly regarded zodiac subject and historic millennium date.
Unlike the other eleven zodiac animals, the dragon is a mythical creature traditionally associated with imperial authority, success, wisdom, and good fortune. Its cultural significance has made Dragon-themed coins especially popular among collectors. The 2000 Gold Dragon had a maximum mintage of just 30,000 coins, all of which were sold. This defined production total, combined with its status as an early Lunar Series I release, adds to its numismatic appeal.
