Created by Australian artist Dan Thorne, the left-facing likeness presents His Majesty with realistic detail and a composed expression. The design reflects the modern era of Australian coinage while preserving the dignified style expected on official bullion issues. **Reverse** The reverse of the 2026 1 oz Rectangular Gold Dragon Coin showcases a Chinese dragon in a flowing serpentine pose. Its winding body extends across the rectangular design field, creating a balanced composition that highlights both movement and detail. The larger format gives the engravers additional room to emphasize the dragon’s scales, curves, and elegant form. **History** The Chinese dragon has long been one of the most important figures in Chinese mythology and tradition. Early representations date back thousands of years to ancient civilizations that created dragon images in jade and bronze. Over time, the dragon became a respected symbol associated with harmony, prosperity, rainfall, and heavenly power, setting it apart from the more fearsome dragons commonly found in Western folklore. **Ordering** If you would like more information about these 1 oz gold coins, BGASC customer service can help.
