Australia's "Year of the Dragon" bullion series occupies an unusual commercial niche — legal tender issued by the Perth Mint under Royal Australian Mint licensing arrangements, struck in .9999 fine gold at a specification that mirrors the half-ounce format without being one. The 6th Portrait of Elizabeth II, sculpted by Jody Clark and adopted by Australia in 2015, appears here posthumously; Charles III acceded in September 2022, but the Perth Mint continued producing Elizabeth II-obverse issues into 2024 on existing authorizations, creating a transitional anomaly that will likely make these the final Elizabeth II dragon coins in the series.
