    Anyone care to hazard a guess what dragon the PM will release next before time runs out?

    My preference would be to see a dragon of the following calibre:

    Half proof/half frosted, Bimetallic/Trimetallic, quadruple struck, Ultra High Relief Piedfort, coloured claws, gilded head, holographic body,
    with jewelled eyes and pearl inlay fireball and a snake privy (of course). Oh, and it'll be octagonally shaped, holey dollar style to boot,
    just to be a bit different.

    Just imagine, their servers will be toast by 3:00:001 AM.

    Anyone know if the PM has a suggestion box?

    Couldn't agree more--was that neck flap really necessary? The old girl is sure showing her age....

    To be quite honest I dont think much of this coin ... the dragon looks like it was squished to fit on the coin.

    I think a 5 oz version high relioef would have looked much nicer with all the added detail a larger coin can show.

    Agreed a 2oz would have been better but I still like the coin

    Perhaps WA's underhanded way to secede from our British colony, Australia.

    Wait till the Queen gets a look at that, she will be fooorious :lol:

    Off with their heads ...

    If Perth Mint wanted to be really different, they should have made this coin the same size as one ounce but made it a three ounce coin. It would show the dragon nicely and 3 times as thick as the 1 oz dragon, I think that would've been cool, and priced it $199.

    Nah... when they start making 5oz proofs of this kind of quality I might take notice... but knowing their form... Queensland'll freeze over before that happens :D x

    She doesn't get furious... simply, not amused.
