| Reverse description | Two sinuous eastern dragons in high relief, dynamically rendered in confronted postures as they pursue a single luminous flaming pearl at the centre of the composition. The dragons are depicted with detailed scaled bodies, clawed feet, and flowing manes, set against a background of swirling cloud scrollwork. The overall design draws on traditional East Asian iconographic motifs symbolising power, good fortune, and celestial pursuit. The Perth Mint privy mark P and the designer's initials JM appear in the field. |

| Additional information |
The Double Dragon series, issued by the Perth Mint beginning in 2021, was designed specifically to court the Chinese investment and collector market — a demographic that had become central to the Mint's bullion strategy over the preceding decade. The 10 oz format at .9999 fineness was a deliberate move above the standard one-ounce tier, positioning the piece as a display and gift item rather than a purely fungible bullion holding.
Perth's sixth-portrait effigy of Elizabeth II, by Jody Clark, first appeared on Australian coinage in 2019.
