Product overview

Australia supplies most of the world’s opal, and this coin features the gemstone in a graceful dragon-shaped inlay, surrounded by detailed patterns and stylised hyacinths, which are considered lucky for those born in the Year of the Dragon.

The reverse also features the Chinese character for “dragon”, the inscription for the lunar year, and a special “P125” mintmark commemorating The Perth Mint’s 125th anniversary.

Includes a display case, an outer shipper box, and a numbered Certificate of Authenticity. This low-mintage issue will appeal to both gemstone enthusiasts and serious Lunar series collectors.

Condition terms explained

We use a simple, consistent set of terms on each product page so you know exactly what to expect when your order arrives. These descriptions focus on honest visual inspection rather than formal grading.
Coin terms
  • Mint - The coin is in Mint, uncirculated condition, with no visible marks to the naked eye under standard lighting. It is supplied in its original capsule or protective packaging, as applicable.
  • Mint (Minor milk spots) - The coin is in Mint, uncirculated condition, but there are small, cloudy white spots on the surface, likely from the minting or planchetting process, a common feature of modern bullion and proof issues. These spots are cosmetic only and do not affect the coin’s metal content, purity, or authenticity.
  • Mint (Light toning) - The coin is in Mint, uncirculated condition, but shows light natural colour changes on the surface, such as pale gold, blue, or rainbow hues from normal ageing and storage. Many collectors view this gentle toning as part of the coin’s character rather than a defect, and it does not affect purity or authenticity.
Presentation case and outer box terms
  • Excellent - The presentation case, or outer box, is in immaculate condition, with only minimal signs of handling or storage, and is suitable for gifting or display.
  • Light scuffs - There are light, surface-level rub marks or slight colour wear from normal handling or sliding against other surfaces. The material is not deeply scratched or broken, and the case or box structure is unaffected.
  • Corner dings - One or more corners show small but clear indentations where the case or box has been knocked. The corner is slightly flattened or recessed, but the item remains fully functional and protective.
  • Minor creases - There are visible fold lines in the cardboard or paperboard where it has been bent, often appearing as a straight line on a lid or edge. These creases are cosmetic only and do not affect the box's ability to open, close, or protect the coin.
  • Age-related discolouration/foxing - The surface shows patchy, often whitish, yellowish, or grey areas that develop over time due to age, humidity, or breakdown of the covering material. This is common on older or velour-style cases and shippers and is cosmetic only; it does not affect the coin inside.
