In the crazy world of silver stackin' few pieces capture the imagination quite like the 2018 1oz Silver Australian Dragon Bar. Crafted by the esteemed Perth Mint, this exquisite silver bar is not only a testament to the mint's renowned craftsmanship, and in my opinion the best mint in the world, but also a celebration of one of the most iconic symbols in Asian culture – the dragon.
Crafted from .9999 fine silver, the 2018 Australian Dragon Bar boasts a striking design that pays homage to the mythical creature revered in Chinese folklore. The obverse features an intricately detailed depiction of a fierce and majestic dragon, its sinuous form coiling amidst swirling clouds, evoking a sense of power and mystique. The dragon's presence is commanding, its every scale and claw rendered with remarkable precision, showcasing the Perth Mint's commitment to excellence in minting.
February 10th, marked the beginning of Chinese new year, so what better time to be showing of this beauty from my collection.
The reverse of the bar displays the classic portrayal of Queen Elizabeth II, reaffirming the bar's status as legal tender in Australia. This clash of Western meets Eastern symbolism underscores the bar's universal appeal, bridging cultures and traditions through the medium of precious metal. Beyond its stunning aesthetics, the 2018 Silver Australian Dragon Bar holds significant investment potential. With a weight of 1 ounce and a purity of .9999, it offers investors a tangible asset that retains its value over time. Silver, known for its industrial applications and historical use as currency, serves as a reliable hedge against inflation and economic uncertainty.

Bro... I was looking at the presale for the 1 oz gold version of this dragon AU bar/coin (I think it was released last year, 2023), right around the time I had to trade-out my 2017 1 oz gold Queen's Beast Red Dragon of Whales coin (NGC graded - MS69), and had to rip it out of my hands a bit haha... but I just remember wishing I had the funds to get that unique and primo AU gold dragon bar/coin currency WAY closer to spot then when I grabbed that Whales dragon. I probably should have at least grabbed one of the silvers.. I probably still will haha.
#silvergoldstackers baby! It's been a while...
I still have a few Steem Silver Rounds.

Ah, so that's the main point of having the queen or king on everything? It ensures it is legal tender? That dragon is pretty sweet looking!
Happy Chinese New Year 🏮🐉 @welshstacker
How do you feel about a rectangular coin the size of a regular bar, @welshstacker ?

That's a pretty bar! Very nice! With this year being the year of the dragon there are so many great dragon products this year. It's hard to choose which ones to pick up!
