Product Details
Celebrate Chinese New Year with an auspicious golden dragon! According to Chinese mythology, Dilong is the Earth Dragon or Underground Dragon that rules over rivers and streams.
On this 99.99% pure gold coin, the Earth Dragon keeps a watchful eye over Canada’s waterways. While its features imply great strength and courage, this dragon also holds the yin-yang symbol that represents unity, balance and harmony. If you look closely, you’ll notice this dragon is covered in scales. This feature implies strength and valour, but it also alludes to the vegetation that grows along the edges of waterways.Coin Highlights:
- Contains 1/20 oz of .9999 fine Gold.
- Your gold coin is presented in a Royal Canadian Mint-branded clamshell and packaged in a red graphic beauty box, evoking the Chinese New Year “red envelope” tradition of bestowing a wish for luck and good fortune.
- Mintage of 8,888.
- Obverse: Features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.
- Reverse: Designed by graphic designer Albert Ng, your coin’s reverse is inspired by ancient Chinese mythology and features Dilong, the Earth Dragon. This traditional protector of waterways stands dignified and proud, with features that imply valour and strength; its sharp claws grip a yin-yang symbol that represents unity, balance and harmony.
- Guaranteed by the Royal Canadian Mint.
