Fly away with the Golden Heavenly Dragon, who safeguards every place you call home.  In Chinese mythology, Tianlong is the Heavenly Dragon—the divine long (dragon) of the skies and the guardian of celestial palaces. This 99.99% pure gold coin from the Royal Canadian Mint features an impressive amount of intricately engraved details that inspire awe for the powerful protector. The golden dragon’s very likeness is thought to attract abundance, good fortune and prosperity, and for extra luck in 2023, this coin shows Tianlong curled up in the shape of another auspicious symbol: the lucky number “8”.

Struck on a 1/20 oz. 99.99% pure gold blank, this limited collectible is one of the Royal Canadian Mint’s most affordable gold offerings in 2023. It may be small in size (14.1 mm) but it’s big on finely engraved details.

 This coin continues the tradition of showcasing art motifs and symbols that are a cherished part of Chinese-Canadian culture.
 Crafted in 99.99% pure gold, which is the traditional colour of prosperity and good fortune.
 The lucky number “8” has been incorporated into the reverse design, where the dragon’s shape resembles a figure eight.
 Packaged in a red beauty box—red to attract good luck in 2023.
