Description
2019 Double Dragon 2oz Silver Antiqued Coin
In traditional Chinese culture, the dragon is revered as a divine creature and potent symbol of power, strength, wealth and good fortune. It is often portrayed chasing a luminous or flaming pearl which is a metaphor for wisdom and enlightenment.
The dragons are traditionally shown with their mouths open and their eyes wide, as they endeavour to capture the eternal treasure.
This beautiful design features two exquisitely detailed dragons chasing a flaming pearl with a stylised representation of clouds and mist in the background.
The mythical creatures encircle an image of the bagua, a motif incorporating Taoist trigrams, or symbols comprising three lines. Each trigram represents one of eight fundamental elements or concepts: heaven/sky, lake, fire, thunder, wind, water, mountain or earth. Within these is the yin yang symbol denoting universal balance.
Struck by The Perth Mint from 2oz of pure silver, the coin has a limited mintage of 888 coins. This number is considered extremely lucky as the Chinese word for ‘eight’ sounds similar to ? which means good fortune or money. The coin is presented in a classic display case within an illustrated shipper and accompanied by a numbered Certificate of Authenticity.
