| Additional information |
Part of Perth Mint's long-running lunar series, this issue marks the second time the Dragon has appeared in the third full rotation of the twelve-year cycle — a calendar alignment that gives the series its internal logic but also its commercial repetition problem. The opal inlay is sourced from Australian fields, most likely Lightning Ridge or Coober Pedy, though Perth Mint does not consistently specify provenance for these inserts.
