Even as an UNC coin, the mintage was a tiny 30,000!The Perth Mint Australian Lunar Series gold and silver coins commemorate the Chinese Lunar calendar: gold coins were first struck in 1996, silver coins began in 1999. It is now one of the most keenly collected lunar coin series in the entire world. The Perth Mint's bullion coins are exceptional quality, and their proof coins are even better.The dragon, the only mythical animal in the lunar series, is revered by the Chinese. To them, the dragon is the ultimate symbol of wisdom and represents the spirit for advancement. The dragon also is viewed as the incarnation of power and authority. In Chinese communities, dragon years are marked by celebrations, festivals, and rising birth rates as parents attempt to confer their offspring with the dragon's characteristics of success, happiness, and prosperity. The Year 2000 Gold Dragon is the key coin in The Perth Mint Lunar Series for several reasons - the mintage was tiny; it was the first in the series (everyone needs one for a complete set!) and the dragon has a universal appeal across all cultures and countries.People born in the Year of the Dragon are (apparently!) healthy, energetic, excitable, short-tempered, and stubborn. Dragons are also honest, sensitive, brave, and they inspire confidence and trust.In addition to the year 2000, other Dragon years are 1988, 1976, 1964, 1952, 1940, 1928, 1916, and 1904.
