The obverse bears the Jody Clark memorial portrait with the dates of her reign '1952-2022'. This design was first seen on the 2023 Australian kangaroo bullion coins.
An inscription goes around the portrait and reads as the following:
· ELIZABETH II 1952-2022 · AUSTRALIA · 1/20 oz 9999 Au 5 DOLLARS ·
The coin's reverse features a powerful dragon depicted alongside waves and swirling fog. Additionally, you'll find the Chinese character '龍,' which translates to 'dragon,' along with the inscription 'DRAGON 2024.'
A special mintmark, 'P125,' commemorating the 125th anniversary of the Australian Perth Mint, is also placed behind the dragon.
