| Additional information |
Australia's Year of the Dragon bullion series drew unusual collector demand in 2012 because the lunar dragon year carries particular significance in Chinese culture — births spike, consumer spending rises, and demand for dragon-themed gold reliably outpaces other years in the twelve-year cycle. The Perth Mint has long understood this market, structuring mintage limits specifically to capture Chinese diaspora buyers across Southeast Asia and North America.
The 1/4 oz denomination in this series consistently sells out faster than the larger formats, a pattern Perth's sales data confirmed repeatedly across the lunar series.
