Up for Auction is a beautiful, brilliant and shiny 1 Oz. 2000 Lunar Dragon from Australia.
The dragon, the only mythical animal in the lunar series and is revered by the Chinese. To them, the dragon is the ultimate symbol of wisdom and represents the spirit for advancement. The dragon also is viewed as the incarnation of power and authority. In Chinese communities, dragon years are marked by celebrations, festivals, and rising birth rates as parents attempt to confer their offspring with the dragon's characteristics of success, happiness, and prosperity.
The year 2000 marked the return of the metal dragon after 60 years. For the children born in the year of the metal dragon, life is beautiful and, supposedly, everything they touch turns to gold. Also, year 2000 was the first time in 3000 years that the Year of the Dragon coincided with the end of a millennium. The year 1600 was the last time the Year of the Dragon coincided with the end of a century.
The coin is uncirculated and comes in it's original capsule.
