2016 Canada Tiger & Dragon – Yin & Yang PF 70

A tapestry of ancient Chinese symbolism comes to life on this distinctly Chinese square-holed coin. Used to string coins together, the square hole also represented Earth. Above the square is the yin-yang symbol illustrating the dynamic and harmonious nature of all opposing forces. Here, that universal balance is represented by an epic battle between China’s two great astrological figures: the Tiger (yin, earthly, real) and the Dragon (yang, ethereal, magical).
