The Perth Mint produces this piece under licensing arrangements with Canada's Royal Canadian Mint, issuing small-denomination Canadian coinage struck in Australia — an unusual jurisdictional arrangement driven by collector demand rather than any monetary need. The "6th portrait" of Elizabeth II was introduced by the Royal Canadian Mint in 2003, the work of sculptor Susanna Blunt, and remained in use on Canadian-format issues even after Charles III coinage entered circulation.
The 2024 Lunar Dragon aligns with the Wood Dragon year in the Chinese sexagenary cycle, a 60-year combination last seen in 1964.
