The 2026 Perth Mint 1oz Silver Dragon Rectangular Coin is a distinctive Australian silver bullion release combining the appearance of a traditional precious metals bar with the legal tender status of a government-issued coin.
Produced by The Perth Mint in Australia, this beautifully designed rectangular silver coin is struck from 9999 fine silver (99.99% purity) and contains exactly one troy ounce (31.1035 grams) of pure silver.
Featuring an intricately detailed Chinese dragon on the reverse and the official portrait of His Majesty King Charles III on the obverse, the 2026 edition combines traditional Asian symbolism with modern Australian bullion craftsmanship.
Unlike conventional round silver bullion coins, the rectangular format gives this product the appearance of a minted silver bar while retaining its official Australian legal tender denomination of 1 Australian Dollar.
Available from 888 Bullion, trusted precious metals specialists based in Hatton Garden, London, this pre-owned silver Dragon coin is an attractive choice for investors looking to purchase physical silver and collectors interested in distinctive international bullion designs.
The reverse of the 2026 Australian Silver Dragon Rectangular Coin features a beautifully detailed depiction of a traditional Chinese dragon.
The dragon is shown with an elongated, winding body, intricate scales, flowing whiskers and prominent claws, creating a striking design that extends across the rectangular surface.
In Chinese culture, the dragon is traditionally associated with strength, prosperity, good fortune and power, making it a popular symbol among collectors and precious metals enthusiasts.
The detailed engraving highlights the dragon's flowing movement, with contrasting polished and frosted surfaces enhancing the overall appearance.
The reverse also features the inscription 2026, identifying the year of issue, together with the P mint mark, representing The Perth Mint.
The distinctive dragon design makes this rectangular silver coin particularly appealing to collectors of Asian-inspired bullion products and Australian precious metals releases.
The obverse features the official portrait of His Majesty King Charles III, reflecting Australia's constitutional monarchy and the King's position as Australia's head of state.
The left-facing portrait is accompanied by the inscriptions:
CHARLES III – Identifying the reigning monarch.
AUSTRALIA – Confirming the issuing country.
1 DOLLAR – The coin's official Australian legal tender denomination.
1oz 9999 Ag – Confirming the coin contains one troy ounce of 99.99% pure silver.
The portrait is positioned centrally within the rectangular design, surrounded by a clean, refined background.
The inclusion of the official Australian denomination distinguishes this product from privately manufactured silver bullion bars.
