Few creatures command the imagination quite like the dragon, a symbol woven into the fabric of civilisations across centuries and continents. In Eastern mythology, the dragon reigns supreme as a celestial guardian: serpentine, wise, and sovereign over rain, rivers, and the heavens themselves. Its flowing whiskers, lustrous scales, and imperial bearing have long made it the ultimate emblem of strength, prosperity, and good fortune.

The 2026 1oz Gold Proof Rectangle Coin captures this mythic power in extraordinary detail. Struck from 99.99% pure gold to proof quality, this rectangular coin presents a snarling oriental dragon rendered with breathtaking precision, each scale individually etched, every curve alive with controlled ferocity. The inscription '2026' and The Perth Mint's coveted 'P' mintmark authenticate its distinguished provenance.
