This postal numismatic cover is highly collectable, featuring a pictorial envelope with 2024 Lunar New Year Red Dragon from the Christmas Island Lunar New Year of the Dragon stamp issue.

The Dragon commands the highest respect in Chinese culture. For thousands of years, it was associated with the emperor and his descendants, symbolising wisdom, enlightenment, and benevolence. The Dragon is also one of the 12 animals featured in the ancient lunar calendar. Those born under the sign of the lunar Dragon in 2024, 2012, 2000, 1988, 1976 and every 12th preceding year, are said to be ambitious, successful, and charismatic. Struck from 1/2oz of 99.99% pure silver, the coin portrays a coloured Chinese dragon and a flaming pearl, a symbol of wisdom. Included in the design is the Chinese character for “Dragon”, the inscription “DRAGON 2024” and a “P125” mintmark signifying The Perth Mint’s 125th anniversary.
