The White Dragon, or Bai Long in Chinese, is a significant figure in Chinese mythology and folklore.

In Chinese cosmology, the White Dragon is one of the Five Dragons that correspond to the cardinal directions and center. While the Azure Dragon represents the East, the Vermilion Bird the South, the Black Turtle the North, and the Yellow Dragon the Center, the White Dragon guards the West. This association with the West has led to its connection with the autumn season and the setting sun, symbolizing the cyclical nature of life and the transition between day and night.
For the obverse of the 2024 Colorized Australian Silver Lunar White Dragon Coin, you will find a bust of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. The Queen is shown here in the fifth-generation portrait created by Jody Clark. This design shows Her Majesty is shown in right-profile relief wearing the George IV State Diadem.
In the reverse design of 2024 1 oz Colorized Silver Lunar White Dragon Coins, Perth Mint features the colorized depiction of the White Dragon. It is shown here coiled along the bottom of the field as it pursues a flaming pearl. In the Chinese elemental system, it is linked to the metal element and represents autumn. The White Dragon is typically depicted as a majestic creature with scales that shimmer like polished silver or pearl, embodying both power and elegance.
