Launching today is a platinum version of the 2021 Chinese Dragon coin, the latest in LPM and the Perth Mint’s ‘Chinese Myths & Legends’ series. Launching in 2017, the series is mainly themed around dragons, although there has been a ‘Pixiu’ coin, and it’s fair to say that the overall standard has been very high, especially for a bullion series.

The latest addition is quite different, being a proof platinum coin, complete with the presentation you would expect from the Perth Mint. Still a relatively scarce metal in the numismatic world, platinum is now quite a bit cheaper than gold, making this relatively affordable. Just 150 of these reverse-proof coins will be produced, and it’s available from LPM right now. We have a full guide to the bullion series if you’re interested.
