Dragons are known today as the official symbol of the People’s Republic of China. Historically speaking, the dragon has played a big role in the religion and mythology of Chinese culture. Many emperors of the past revered the dragon for its power and wisdom, while today it is also associated with good luck and fortune. In fact, modern Chinese citizens who experience both good luck at work and fortune through their job are associated with the dragon.

All of the 2012 1 oz Silver Australian Year of the Dragon Series 2 Coins are available to you inside protective packaging to ensure the coin retains its condition. These silver bullion coins had a limited mintage in 2012 of just 300,000 coins and sold out quickly from the Perth Mint when originally offered.

The obverse side of 2012 Silver Australian Year of the Dragon Series 2 coins features the image of Queen Elizabeth II. Her Majesty’s effigy is depicted on this face of the coin in a fourth-generation design originally created for the Royal Mint of England by Ian Rank-Broadley. In use since 1998, it remains a popular design on Commonwealth coins today.

On the reverse of the 2012 1 oz Silver Australian Year of the Dragon Series 2 coin, you’ll find the depiction of a dragon as it chases the flaming pearl. Known as a symbol of wisdom, the flaming pearl is often depicted in artwork with a creature chasing after it. This typical vision of the Chinese dragon depicts a serpent-like beast with six legs and no wings.

The Perth Mint is Australia’s oldest operating mint. Opened in 1899 as the third and final Royal Mint of England facility in what was then a British Colony, today the Perth Mint is a state-owned entity of Western Australia.

Is my information secure?

We take data security very seriously. When you place an order with silver.com, your information is transmitted with the utmost SSL (secure socket layers) 256-bit protection. We also never have access to your credit/debit card details, as they are securely communicated directly to the payment processor (Authorize.net) and never retained by Silver.com. For this reason, we also don't process credit/debit card orders over the phone, as it is the least secure way to process those transactions.

In addition, all VISA and MasterCard orders undergo an additional step of user authentication - the respective Verified by VISA or MasterCard SecureCode programs. Upon completing checkout with a VISA or MasterCard credit/debit card, you may be promoted for additional details to confirm your identity and protect our customers against credit card fraud.

Finally, the data we do retain in our system, including but not limited to name, address, phone number, and order history, is never shared with or sold to any unrelated third-parties. Please review our Privacy Policy for full details on our data security measures.

Do you charge sales tax?

We are required to collect sales tax in certain states. You can review your states sales tax policy here: https://www.silver.com/taxes. You should always consult with a tax adviser for specific advice in your area.

Where does your spot price come from?

We use a live, up-to-the-second spot price feed supplied by Xignite.com, a worldwide leader in the data supply market.

Are your products actually in stock?

Yes. We are one of the few bullion dealers in the industry who only deems products "in stock" when we have them on-hand and ready to ship immediately. In the instance of a presale item, we denote that the product is on presale and the estimated shipping date. While we make the best efforts to hit presale dates, the dates are only estimates, given we cannot control mint production issues and/or carrier dealyes.

Why are multiple prices listed?

We offer a 4% discount to "cash" paying customers - with paper check, bank wire, and bitcoin payments being defined as cash. On many products, we are also able to offer volume discounts to customers purchasing large quantities of the same item. All volume pricing is laid out in the chart on the product's description page, as well as in the cart.

When do I lock in my price?

All prices are locked in at the time of purchase. Credit/debit card, PayPal, BitCoin, Ethereum, and Ripple orders are paid at the time of checkout, while paper check and bank wire orders require a credit/debit card on file to lock in your pricing while we await your payment. Please note, paper check and bank wire orders will NOT result in a charge to your card - we simple maintain the card on file while we await full payment by your selected payment method.

Do you ship internationally?

We currently only ship to addresses in the United States, including APOs.
