The coin incorporates a rotating gold-plated sterling silver bead resembling a dragon’s head. It is surrounded by a representation of a serpentine-shaped dragon, stylized clouds, and a flaming pearl, a symbol of wisdom. Also included in the design is The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark, the coin’s weight, and fineness. The Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II supplemented by the dates of her reign ‘1952-2022’ appears on the obverse with the coin’s monetary denomination and 2024 year-date.

The coin has been individually ‘antiqued’ to give it a unique finish conveying the surface abrasions of an ancient artefact. As a result of this treatment the appearance of each coin may vary.
