Interesting fact
The Year of the Dragon coin is a unique and interesting collector's item. One fascinating fact about this coin is that it was minted with a special technique called "smartminting." This process allows for the creation of coins with a higher level of detail and relief, resulting in a more lifelike and visually striking design. The dragon depicted on the coin is shown in intricate detail, with scales, claws, and a fiery breath that appear almost lifelike. This technique adds an extra layer of beauty and collectibility to an already stunning coin.
