2024 Year of the Dragon Limited Edition Medallion & Stamp Cover PNC

2024 Year of the Dragon Limited Edition Medallion & Stamp Cover PNC.

The Dragon is the fifth of the 12 Chinese zodiac animals, and people born under this sign are said to be confident, lucky and gifted. The dragon dance is a traditional element of Chinese New Year celebrations.

It involves several participants who perform underneath a vibrant and decorative dragon costume that is held up with poles. Their dance mimics the undulating movements of a dragon.

As the dragon is a symbol of power, nobility and authority, the face of the costume often has an intimidating expression.

A special fireworks version of the dragon dance is also performed in some regions.

This cover contains a gold-plated medallion and a Dragon stamp from the Year of the Dragon 2024 Stamp issue.

This postal numismatic cover contains a 61mm medallion.

Issued as a limited edition medallion, the uncirculated gold-plated medallion which spins and is housed in a beautifully designed card with a circular window revealing the medallion's reverse and obverse designs.

Fixed to the envelope is an official Australia Post $1.20 stamp which is post marked First Day of Issue and the envelope includes Australia Post's Seal of Authenticity.
