This 99.99% pure gold coin features an impressive amount of intricately engraved details that inspire awe for the powerful protector. The golden dragon’s very likeness is thought to attract abundance, good fortune and prosperity, and for extra luck in 2023, this coin shows Tianlong curled up in the shape of another auspicious symbol: the lucky number “8”.DID YOU KNOW?
A golden dragon is traditionally a symbol of strength, power and wealth, and on your coin’s reverse, Tianlong is depicted with a pearl—a popular Chinese motif since ancient times. Pearls continue to be associated with wisdom and wealth, spiritual energy (often in connection with the moon) and enlightenment.
