The third release in the “Dragons of the World” series is an amazing, shaped coin struck in a full ounce of highly pure 99.9% fine silver that features China’s fascinating Whiskered Dragon! The incredible design shows a dragon curling and coiling around a red-colored Pearl of Wisdom—the possession of which is a constant quest for China’s mythical dragons. If you look closely, you’ll see that the dragon’s eyes have also been selectively colorized in a reed hue. In Chinese mythology, the Whiskered Dragon holds a significant place in cultural traditions. Known as the Chinese Water Dragon, the Whiskered Dragon is characterized by long whiskers and vibrant green colorization. It is revered as a symbol of life, renewal, power, strength, and good fortune. It’s also believed to possess the ability to control the weather, bringing rain for agriculture, making it also a symbol of fertility and abundance.

In addition to the fabulous design of a curling Whiskered Dragon, the truly unique aspect of this coin is its dramatic Ultra-High Relief (UHR) detail combined with a unique antique finish that adds even more depth and dimension to the intricate designs. While the designs tower over the surface of the coin, the antique finish fills in every nook and cranny to make this coin take on an almost three-dimensional appearance.
