2000 10 oz Silver Lunar Dragon BU Australian Perth Mint

 

Admired by collectors worldwide, the 2000 10 oz Silver Lunar Dragon BU from the Australian Perth Mint combines substantial silver content with one of the most celebrated designs in the Lunar Series collection. Struck from 10 troy oz of .999 fine silver in Brilliant Uncirculated condition, this impressive bullion coin showcases the exceptional craftsmanship and detailed artistry that made the Perth Mint famous among precious metals investors. The Year of the Dragon release remains especially desirable due to the Dragon’s strong symbolism in Chinese culture and the coin’s popularity within the original Lunar Series program.

Introduced by the Perth Mint in 1999, the Australian Lunar Series quickly became one of the most successful and collectible bullion coin programs in the world. Each release honors one of the twelve animals of the Chinese zodiac with annually changing designs that attract both investors and numismatic enthusiasts. The Dragon symbolizes strength, prosperity, wisdom, and success, making Dragon-themed coins some of the most in-demand issues in the precious metals market. Early releases from the original Lunar Series, including the 2000 Dragon coin, are particularly sought after due to their lower mintages and growing collector demand over time.
