1 Dollar - Elizabeth II Ryu

The "Ryu" is the Japanese dragon, and this coin belongs to Perth Mint's Lunar III series — the third iteration of a program that began in 1996 and has become one of the most consistently collected annual silver bullion series in the Asia-Pacific market. The Year of the Dragon falls in 2024, meaning this 2022 release is an anticipatory thematic piece rather than a calendar-year Lunar issue, positioned within Perth's broader dragon-themed bullion output.

KM#673.1 distinguishes the standard bullion strike from colorized and gilded variants issued under separate references the same year.
