Introducing the Canada 2024 Lunar Year of The Dragon – a remarkable 100.74g proof silver coin unlike any other. This groundbreaking design features the powerful Dragon in Extraordinary High Relief (EHR), bringing it to life in three stunning dimensions.
In Chinese astrology, the Dragon represents growth, progress, creativity, and good fortune. This magnificent coin, crafted from 99.99% pure silver with a proof finish, is a perfect way to celebrate the Year of the Wood Dragon.
The coin’s reverse features a dynamic and detailed depiction of a dragon, a symbol of power and strength, its body flowing and coiling with energy. Above the dragon is a stylised layer of energy that symbolises the dragon's breath, also known as "shang qi" or "cosmic energy". This is the most important energy in feng shui, and it can attract wealth, good luck, and fortune. The upper edge of the coin is inscribed with "CANADA," and the lower edge states the face value of "50 DOLLARS." Beneath the inscription, the design is framed by a laser-engraved pattern that mimics the texture of wood grain, symbolising the element of Wood-Dragon. The design elements are set against a proof quality background and rise a staggering 4.7 mm, accentuating the intricate details of the dragon's scales and the energy’s soft textures. The rim of the coin is finely serrated, adding to the coin's tactile and visual intrigue. But the innovation doesn't stop there! The coin’s obverse is a blend of tradition and fantasy, featuring the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II in a central elevated circle, signifying her reign from 1952 to 2022. Surrounding this, the main field of the coin displays an intricate and high-relief depiction of a dragon that swirls around the centre, its body and tendrils flowing dynamically, also rendered in EHR at a height of 3.85 mm. The inscription "ELIZABETH II D.G. REGINA" encircles the upper half of the design, while the year of issue "2024" is prominently displayed at the bottom. Beneath the inscription, the design is framed by a laser-engraved pattern that mimics the texture of wood grain, symbolising the element of Wood-Dragon. The detailed artwork and the high-quality finish accentuate the power and mythic grace of the dragon, contrasting with the solemnity of the Queen's effigy. This two-sided design creates an unparalleled sense of depth and realism, making this coin a true marvel of minting technology.
