{{/presale}} {{#promotion_on}}Dragons play a powerful role in Chinese myths and legends, standing apart from the winged beasts seen in Western stories. Known as lng in Mandarin, these dragons are slender and snake-like, with four legs and no wings, and their scaled appearance draws from various animals. The Royal Canadian Mint pays tribute to this cultural icon through its Canadian Dragon Series. BGASC now has the 2021 1/4 oz Canadian Dragon Gold Coin in stock.
Highlights:
All 2021 1/4 oz Canadian Dragon Gold Coins come in protective plastic to help guard their condition. Each coin has a reverse-proof finish, featuring a frosted field and a bright, detailed dragon design. Issued from 2017 through 2023, the Canadian Dragon Series highlights a new version of the Chinese dragon on each release.
Obverse
The obverse features a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, created by Canadian artist Susanna Blunt. This right-profile effigy was introduced in 2003 and is notable for its lack of a crown, offering a more understated depiction of the monarch. It remains one of just two Canadian coin portraits designed by a Canadian.
Reverse
On the reverse, a curled Chinese dragon is displayed with its body forming the shape of the number 8. In classic Chinese art, dragons are often paired with a flaming pearl, a symbol of good fortune, enlightenment, or the moon.
History
In ancient times, dragons were believed to control rainfall and waterways, making them especially important to communities that depended on farming. As a result, they were respected as bringers of abundance. This link between dragons and prosperity also made them symbols of strength and imperial authority.
