Comment
The Dragon is a recognized symbol of prosperity in the East. Powerful and wise, it is the emblem of the Emperor. Dragon and Emperor are one and the same, and everything to do with the Emperor is described in dragon terms - the dragon throne, the dragon face - even the Emperor's step is referred to as the "dragon walk".
Chinese culture has many dragons. The Imperial, or Long, Dragon is the most powerful. Protector of the heavens, it takes on the features of the Emperor on Earth. Radiate the good fortune and prestige associated with him with this superb silver coin.

A high-relief bullion coin. The 1 oz blank designed by the Mint offers higher relief than a standard 1 oz bullion coin.
Exceptional finish. The reverse of the coin features a reverse numismatic proof finish, while radial lines are precisely engraved on the obverse.
The meticulous engraving reproduces the dragon's scales and curve in rich detail, bringing the coin to life!
