2018 1oz Dragon Rectangular Silver Coin

The 2018 one ounce silver Dragon Rectangular Coin. Is this a coin or a bar? By all definition, this Dragon is a coin - it has a face value of $1 (AUD) backed by the Australian government; all are identical - they do not have individual serial numbers and it features Sir Ian Rank-Broadleys' portrait of Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse. It is a coin, but you would be forgiven for calling it a bar, due to its unusual shape for a coin.

The rectangular coin containing 1oz of fine silver (.9999) is produced by Perth Mint, who are well known for producing quality bullion items. The coin is limited to a production of 500,000 units and as such will be an unusual piece for investors and collectors. Single bars are available (whilst stocks last); units of 20 will be in tubes.
