Issued in 2012, the Year of the Dragon silver bar is comprised of 10 oz. of .999 fine silver. Each bar arrives sealed for protection in a plastic sleeve.
The obverse side of the bar features the dragon, the fifth animal in the 12-year Chinese lunar calendar. Most recently occurring in 2012, the next year of the dragon will take place in 2024. Symbolizing power, strength and good luck, the dragon has been featured in a variety of Chinese art, literature, and drama throughout the centuries. Additionally, the dragon was used as the official symbol for Chinese emperors. In addition to the dragon engraved on the obverse, the phrase “YEAR OF THE DRAGON,” “10 TROY OUNCES,” “.999 SILVER,” and the date of mintage are also included. The Chinese symbol for dragon can be found on the bottom right-hand corner of the bar.
The reverse has no engraved words, but features a recurring pattern that lends special distinction to the bar.
