In Chinese tradition, dragons are symbols of wisdom, power, and good fortune, unlike the fearsome creatures often found in Western folklore. These majestic beings are seen as protectors and bringers of prosperity, associated with imperial authority and revered for their magical abilities. Chinese dragons are distinct from their Western counterparts, as they are wingless yet capable of moving freely through air and water.

Obverse

The obverse of the coin displays a left-profile portrait of King Charles III. This effigy, designed by Dan Thorne, is the first depiction of His Majesty on Australian coins and shows him without a crown.

Reverse

On the reverse side, the coin features a detailed image of a coiled dragon holding a flaming pearl. The dragon is surrounded by stylized clouds, reflecting its magical and celestial nature in Chinese folklore. This design captures the dragons role as a symbol of strength, wisdom, and protection.

History

Chinese dragons are also deeply connected to the concept of yang (masculine) energy and the element of water, despite their ability to command fire. Throughout Chinese history, dragons have served as symbols of imperial power, with the five-clawed dragon being reserved exclusively for use by the emperor. This association was so strong that the term “dragon throne” became synonymous with imperial rule, and the emperor’s robes were adorned with intricate dragon patterns that signified his divine authority and connection to these celestial beings.
