The 5th year of release for the Lunar Series II collection is marked by the release of the 2012 2 oz Australian Silver Lunar Dragon Coin. This coin features the most popular animal of the Chinese zodiac and is part of the second collection from the Lunar series overall. The 2012-coin ships to you in a protective plastic capsule, bears a face value of $2 AUD, and consists of 99.9% fine silver.

Beginning in 1996, the Perth Mint has released the Lunar Series I, II, and III by following each animal of the Chinese zodiac sequentially. Silver coins were introduced to the series in 1999 with the Year of the Rabbit release. Coins throughout the life of this series have been released in various purities and weights, each offering a unique reverse design that coin collectors worldwide can take advantage of.

On the obverse of the 2012 2 oz Australian Silver Lunar Dragon Coin, the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II is portrayed. This original portrait was designed by Ian Rank-Broadly and has been featured on many Australian coins. This portrait has been used in the Lunar Series from 1999 to 2019 to honor Her Majesty the Queen as a revered leader of Australia. The obverse of the 2012 coin also shows its value, weight, purity, release year, and two inscriptions: “AUSTRALIA” and “ELIZABETH II”.

The reverse of the 2012 2 oz Australian Silver Lunar Dragon Coin shows the new design of the Chinese dragon. The dragon seems to slither its body across the surface of the coin, showing off large scales and four long legs. It stares with an open mouth at the Pearl of Wisdom. The reverse of the 2012 coin also features the inscription “Year of the Dragon” and the Chinese character for “dragon”.

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.

Please note, the Silver.com website accepts orders 24/7/365, so you can always lock in live product prices and make purchases outside of business hours.

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.
