300,000 pieces of 1 oz Silver Dragon were sold out on launch day 1 September 2011 for a little below A$50/oz. This was followed by Perth Mint declaring that they were unable to cope with orders and hence suspended production of the 1/2 oz, 2 oz and 5 oz Silver Dragon coins. Prices jumped to as high as A$100/oz but settled to as low as A$60 when silver spot price tanked 25% from US$40 to US$30.
