Historical Context: This 2024 Australian 2 Dollar silver bullion coin, issued in the name of Elizabeth II, features her sixth and final effigy by Jody Clark. Released after her 2022 passing, it serves as a poignant tribute to her enduring reign. The coin belongs to the Perth Mint's celebrated Lunar Series, commemorating the Year of the Dragon. This auspicious symbol in Chinese culture represents power, prosperity, and good fortune, making the release highly significant for collectors and investors globally.
Artistry: The obverse showcases Jody Clark's dignified sixth portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, known for its modern regal simplicity. The reverse, a hallmark of Perth Mint craftsmanship, presents a dynamic and intricate Dragon. While the specific engraver is often internal for bullion, the design adheres to a contemporary naturalistic style, often incorporating traditional Chinese iconography. Meticulous detailing of the dragon's scales, claws, and sinuous form exemplifies the Mint's high-relief artistry.
Technical/Grading: Struck in .9999 fine silver, this substantial 62.213 gram, 50.8 mm coin typically exhibits a brilliant uncirculated strike. High-points for wear on the obverse include Elizabeth II's hair and shoulder contours. On the reverse, assess the sharpness of the dragon's scales, whiskers, and intricate claw details. The generous planchet facilitates a broad field and strong relief, ensuring a powerful, detailed impression characteristic of Perth Mint's premium bullion.
