2012 $1 APTA Melbourne Year of The Dragon PNC

The Dragon is the fifth sign in the Chinese Zodiac and symbolises sensitivity and bravery. Although the Dragon can fly and expected to have come first in the Zodiac race, he only achieved fifth position. Because of his generous nature, the Dragon stopped during the race to create rain to break a severe drought and then stopped again to help the Rabbit, a fellow competitor, by gently blowing him across the river on a raft. Dragons make ideal artists, entertainers, diplomats and politicians.
