This exceptional design features the Chinese Dragon rising from the surface with impressive detail, a realistic image that is brought to life through a distinct 3D feel. Surrounding the legendary creature are intricate motifs of more smaller dragons that lay against the mandala pattern.
The pattern itself is an outstanding piece of work, its design drawn with inspiration from the caisson ceilings of the Forbidden City. This lattice pattern was only used in important Chinese buildings such as palaces and temples due to its complexity in design and execution.
At 80mm diameter, this piece is double the size of a regular 2oz collectable coin, giving it an incredible weight and feel that complements the regal Chinese Dragon. This is made possible with a new minting technique called “Bi-Metal Plus”, which combines 8oz of copper embodied within two layers of 99.9% fine silver totalling 2oz, to deliver a super ultra-high relief topped with silver antiqued finishing.
