| Additional information |
The Royal Mint's one-kilo lunar issues occupy an awkward commercial space — too large for serious numismatic handling, too bullion-adjacent for pure collectors — yet the 2024 Dragon marks the close of the sixty-year lunar cycle's third full rotation since the series began. Charles III's accession meant new obverse dies were required across the entire product range simultaneously, creating an unusual production bottleneck at Llantrisant in late 2022 and into 2023 that pushed several flagship proof issues into the following year's schedule.
Struck in four-nines fine gold, a purity standard the Royal Mint adopted to compete directly with Perth and the Chinese state mints on the collector bullion market.
