Traditionally regarded as the embodiment of the Emperor, the Chinese dragon is admired as benevolent, noble and a potent symbol of abundance and good fortune.
In appearance it is serpentine shaped with the scales of a fish, has eagle-like talons and a horned head possessing demonic eyes. Since ancient times, it has often been portrayed with a pearl – a sought-after treasure associated with energy, opportunity and immortality.
The 2021 Chinese Myths & Legends - Dragon 2oz Gold High Relief Coin is struck by The Perth Mint from 99.99% pure gold.
The reverse design portrays a powerful and wise Chinese dragon clasping a pearl in one of its claws. As well as The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark, the artistry includes representations of clouds, denoting the dragon’s celestial realm.
The coin is housed in a classic display case with a wooden lid. Packaged within an illustrated shipper, each coin is accompanied by a numbered Certificate of Authenticity.
