Issued under Perth Mint's ongoing bullion dragon series, this coin falls within a long-running annual program that has accumulated a dedicated collector base across Southeast Asia in particular, where dragon-year releases drive measurable secondary market premiums. The 2024 release aligns with the Lunar Year of the Dragon — the most commercially significant year in the twelve-year cycle, historically generating the highest mintage demand of any animal in the series.
Charles III's first effigy, by sculptor King Dong-Wang, replaced the long-used Maklouf portrait following the accession in September 2022.
