Also getting a full reformatting was another Perth Mint, Chinese-themed bullion profile – Chinese Myths & Legends. This is similar in theme to the rectangular range we just looked at, but with a greater selection of subjects, not just the typical dragon, especially in solo form.

The 2023 coin is called Dragon & Koi, and as you can tell from the name, adds that Asian favourite, the Koi Carp to the mix. At present, there are one-ounce silver variants, one cleanly struck, two coloured. There will be a gold version, and likely also an antique-silver one, but these tend to follow a year later, and thus will carry a 2024 issue date. On that note, the gold and antique silver 2022 designs have also just appeared, right on cue.

Again, the profile has been completely redesigned and brought up to date for your perusal, and will continue to be so as the series continues. We’ll try and get better quality images, as the ones we have are upscaled, and suck a bit, frankly.
