| Additional information |
The Year of the Dragon issue is part of the Royal Mint's ongoing Lunar Series, produced for the British market rather than for circulation — no 5-pound crown has entered everyday use since the denomination was effectively retired from circulation in the nineteenth century. The 2024 dragon year holds particular commercial weight; in Chinese tradition the dragon cycle draws stronger collector demand than most other zodiac years, a pattern the Royal Mint's marketing division has exploited since the series launched.
