5 Dollars - Elizabeth II 4th Portrait - Year of the Dragon - Gold Bullion Coin

Australia's Year of the Dragon bullion issues from 2000 mark the Perth Mint's early push into the fractional lunar gold market, a program that would eventually outpace many rival mints in collector demand. The 2000 dragon year carries additional weight as the inaugural issue of the Lunar Series I in its fractional denominations — and the dragon, recurring only once per twelve-year cycle, consistently drives stronger secondary market interest than most other animals in the series.
