Australia – 2020 – 100 Dollars – Double Dragon – 1oz Gold – PCGS MS70

This 2020 Australian gold coin features the striking “Double Dragon” design and was minted by the Perth Mint as a 1oz gold edition. The design belongs to Australia’s modern theme of Chinese-inspired coin designs and combines the Perth Mint’s high precision with a particularly symbolic imagery.

The coin is made of one ounce of gold with a fineness of 999.9/1000. This makes it a modern 24-karat gold coin with a face value of 100 Australian dollars. While minted as a bullion coin, its distinctive double-dragon design, limited mintage, and perfect PCGS rating give it a distinctly collector-oriented character.

The obverse features a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II by Jody Clark. The inscription reads “ELIZABETH II”, “AUSTRALIA”, the year of issue 2020, the face value “100 DOLLARS”, and the gold content “1oz 9999 Au”. This clearly documents the coin’s origin, metal, fineness, and official status as Australian legal tender.

The reverse depicts two dragons dynamically moving around a flaming pearl. In Chinese symbolism, the dragon represents strength, good fortune, power, and protection. The design is highly detailed and its circular composition makes it particularly striking. The “P” mintmark also identifies the Perth Mint.

Of particular note is the PCGS certification with the highest rating of MS70. This classification signifies perfect mint-state condition with no visible flaws under five times magnification. Especially for modern 1oz gold coins, MS70 is the decisive collector quality, as it clearly distinguishes the coin from ordinary, uncertified bullion issues.

The mintage of this 2020 Double Dragon gold coin was limited to just 5,000 pieces. This limited edition combines several important features: 1 ounce of pure gold (999.9 fine), minted by the Perth Mint, featuring an attractive dragon design, limited edition status, PCGS certification, and a perfect MS70 grade. This makes it particularly suitable for collectors of modern Australian gold coins, Perth Mint issues, coins with dragon motifs, and high-quality certified 1oz gold coins.
