The Perth Mint later confirmed that all coins from this release were sold out before the end of 2012. **Obverse** The obverse of the 2012 Australian Silver Lunar Dragon Coin displays Queen Elizabeth II. This design uses the fourth-generation portrait of the Queen created by Ian Rank-Broadley. The effigy shows Her Majesty in right-profile relief wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland Tiara. **Reverse** For the reverse of the 2012 1 oz Silver Lunar Dragon Coin, the Perth Mint created a detailed image of a Chinese dragon in flight. The creature is shown with curved claws, detailed scales, and long flowing whiskers. The carefully engraved design reflects traditional depictions of dragons found in Chinese art. **History** Among the twelve animals in the Chinese Zodiac, the Dragon holds a unique role because it is the only mythical creature in the cycle. Those born during Dragon years, including 2012, are often believed to have strong personalities, confidence, and natural leadership abilities. In Chinese culture, the dragon represents strength, prosperity, and authority. **Ordering** If you would like more information about silver coins, the BGASC customer service team is available to help.
