After the grand series of the colored dragons set, it is a hard act to follow.
But I do have one more to share, which I hope you will like. The twin dragons in figure 8!
This 'coin' is obviously targeted to the Chinese market. The number 8 in Chinese sounds phonetically similar to 'wealth'. There is a limited mintage of 8,888 which of course, further emphasizes the target market. Limited but not exactly a small number of mintage either.
The design shows two dragons encircling each other, meeting at the center. P is the mint-mark for the Perth Mint. It has an antiqued silver tone.
It comes in the acrylic display case, suitable for showing.
On the back, this is denominated as AUD 2 dollars legal tender, and is a 2oz silver coin. Queen E II takes the middle spot, and around the circular holes, shows a patterned 8 design, which I found quite pleasant to look at.
It comes packaged nicely, with an outer box showing the figure eight design.
The inner box, a plain black box with the Perth Mint brand and logo. It would be cool if they did private rounds of that swan. I would buy that!
Within it sits the CoA, and the coin in display case underneath. Overall, well-packaged and protects the coin.
What do you think of this piece of 8??
