Chinese New Year is an important annual celebration for Chinese people around the world to honour family, traditions and deities. As powerful icons of good fortune, dragons play an integral role in Chinese New Year celebrations. The colourful and energetic dragon dance welcomes good fortune into the community and often recreates traditional depictions of the powerful animal chasing a flaming ‘pearl of wisdom’. 

Unique Dragon Reverse Design

The reverse of the coin features a dragon with a depiction of a flaming pearl. Dragons are often portrayed pursuing this metaphor for wisdom and enlightenment in fine art, and the imagery is recreated in popular Chinese New Year dragon dances. A performer holds a coloured sphere on a rod which is ‘chased’ by the dragon to the beat of a drum. 

Official Australia Post Stamp and Beautifully Designed Presentation Envelope

The aluminium bronze coin is housed in a beautifully designed card with a circular window revealing the coin’s reverse and obverse designs.
The envelope’s design features a stunning coloured representation of a gold Chinese dragon clutching a pearl. Also included are the words ‘HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR 2019’ in English and Chinese script and the issue number and limit.

Affixed to the envelope are themed official Australia Post $3 and $1 stamps postmarked for the first day of issue with a special pig postmark honouring 2019 as the Year of the Pig. The envelope includes Australia Post’s Seal of Authenticity.
