The Perth Mint's lunar and zodiac bullion series occupy a specific commercial niche — legal tender denominations assigned by the Australian government under the Currency Act, which obligates the Commonwealth to honor face value while the actual metal content renders that obligation essentially academic. The 2019 Dragon issue falls within the mint's ongoing effort to capture Chinese New Year gift-buying cycles, a market segment that now drives a measurable share of Australian precious metals export revenue.
One troy ounce of .9999 fine gold from the Perth refinery carries the mint's longstanding reputation for achieving four-nines purity consistently — a standard it formalized in the 1990s when repositioning away from purely industrial refining.
