The dragon embodies wealth, power, and good fortune in Chinese culture. An official symbol of the nation today, the dragon is frequently depicted in works of art pursuing a flaming pearl. This is considered a metaphor for wisdom and enlightenment, pointing toward the dragon’s pursuit of knowledge. The tiger is also a symbol of power and good luck in Chinese culture, making it the perfect match for the dragon in this design.

On the reverse of the 2019 Australian Dragon and Tiger Gold Coin is the image of the two creatures. On the left side, the tiger prowls around the flaming pearl with its gaze fixed at the dragon opposite its figure. The right side depicts the dragon as it slithers the length of the coin also fixing its gaze on the tiger and the flaming pearl. In feng shui, these two beasts are considered a perfect match that brings natural balance.

The obverse of 2019 1 oz Australian Dragon and Tiger Gold Coins features the right-profile portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. Her Majesty is featured here in the fourth-generation design on British coinage that was created in 1998 by Ian Rank-Broadley for the Royal Mint of England.
