The "Year of the Dragon" issue was part of Monnaie de Paris's ongoing lunar series developed for the French market, targeting collectors with ties to the Chinese diaspora in France — one of the largest in Europe. The dragon year, recurring every twelve years, consistently drives the strongest secondary market premiums within any lunar coin series, and 2012 was no exception.
Struck to one troy ounce in .999 fine gold, this piece carries a mintage low enough that auction appearances remain infrequent. KM#1926 confirms its catalog standing within the broader Monnaie de Paris commemorative program of that period.
