2026 Dragon $1 1oz Silver Rectangular Proof Coin

Embodying strength, wisdom and prosperity, the 2026 Dragon $1 1oz Silver Rectangular Proof Coin is a stunning tribute to one of the world’s most revered mythical creatures. Struck by the Perth Mint from 1 troy ounce of 99.99% pure silver, this beautifully crafted proof coin features the Mint’s distinctive rectangular format, making it a standout addition to any collection.

In Chinese mythology, the dragon is celebrated as a powerful guardian of the natural world, symbolising harmony, good fortune and imperial authority. The reverse showcases a meticulously detailed oriental dragon, snarling as its scaled body coils across the coin. The design also incorporates the 2026 year-date and The Perth Mint’s iconic ‘P’ mintmark, highlighting the exceptional craftsmanship of this release.

The obverse features the Dan Thorne effigy of His Majesty King Charles III, set against a radiant background and accompanied by the coin’s weight, purity and monetary denomination.

With a maximum mintage of just 3,888 coins, a number traditionally associated with prosperity and good fortune in Chinese culture, this proof-quality release is expected to be highly sought after by collectors of dragons, lunar-themed issues and premium Perth Mint silver coins.
