I work for a large bullion dealership in the SF bay area, this item is from my personal collection.
Item has been fully tested using Sigma-metalytics units and a K X-ray fluorescence (XRF) unit.
This item is legal currency 0 yet is classified as a coin. This is the only rectangular coin in production that I am aware of and was part of a limited run.
Produced by the Perth mint for the Australian Government and encapsulated at time of production at the mint the item has never been removed from its protective holder. (All of our verification tests are capable of passing through the plastic and are non-marking non-destructive methods.)
According to ancient Chinese legend, the divine dragon embodies power, luck and fortune. The creatures are traditionally portrayed in pursuit of a spiritual orb known as a flaming pearl, a metaphor for wisdom and enlightenment. This carefully considered coin honours cultural traditions with its depiction of the powerful creature.
