5 Dollars - Charles III Dragon

Part of the long-running "Dragon" bullion series produced for Cook Islands by the New Zealand Mint, this fractional issue targets the Asian investment market, where dragon motifs carry strong cultural associations with prosperity and good fortune. The .9999 fineness places it among the purest gold strikes in commercial bullion production — a standard that became a marketing benchmark after the Royal Canadian Mint introduced it with the Maple Leaf in 1982.
