Celebrating the Chinese dragon, this stunning release combines colour and antiquing, two popular Perth Mint numismatic treatments that enhance the design with dramatic effect.
In Chinese culture, the dragon is revered as a divine mythical creature, a symbol of power, strength, wealth, and good fortune and it is often portrayed chasing a luminous or flaming pearl. The dragons are traditionally shown with their mouths open and their eyes wide, as they endeavour to catch the prized treasure.
The flaming pearl is viewed as a metaphor for wisdom, enlightenment and spiritual essence. From an artistic perspective, dragons are frequently depicted in pursuit of the flaming pearl, which is represented as swirling through mist, smoke and shadows.
This unique 2oz silver coin features the mythical dragon and has been has been individually ‘antiqued’ to give it a unique finish.
