Launching in 2018, the Perth Mint’s striking Rectangular Dragon bullion coin series was a pretty departure from the mints typical nature-themed ranges. Available in both gold and silver forms, each an ounce in weight, they carry a new design every year, with quite some variation in artistic style.

The 2022 design by Monique Reeves is a fine one, similar to the 2021 effort by Lucas Bowers, but different enough to have its own distinct flavour. The dragon spirals it’s way down the coin in typical Asian style, chasing the legendary flaming pearl. The obverse is a simple effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, along with all the relevant issue inscriptions.

This isn’t a low mintage series, hitting 250,000 units in silver, and 8,888 in gold., so availability should be easy enough. Another great looking release in an attractive series. Check out the earlier issues in our full profile in the link below. Available now.
