2012 1oz. Yellow Coloured Silver Coin - Year of the Dragon (TAX Exempt)
The 2012 Melbourne ANDA Coin Show Special features the spectacular Year of the Dragon 1oz Silver Coloured Coin.
Embracing this year's fantastic design from the Australian Lunar Silver Coin Series II, this coin celebrates the dragon, the fifth of the twelve animals associated with the ancient Chinese Lunar Calendar. The coin is pad printed in yellow, one of the nine auspicious colours featured on the Nine Dragon Wall in China.
In Chinese culture, people born in the Year of the Dragon - 1916, 1928, 1940, 1952, 1964, 1976, 1988, 2000 and 2012 - are regarded as confident, enterprising, independent, self-assured, brave and passionate.
