🐉 Design & Symbolism
The reverse showcases a vividly coloured dragon, its long, scaled body coiling into the shape of a figure eight, revered in Chinese culture as a symbol of prosperity, fortune, and infinity.
The beast reaches toward a coloured gem, marked with the Chinese character 龍 (dragon), representing wisdom, strength, and celestial power.
Symbolic clouds swirl around the creature — visualised as the breath of the dragon — reinforcing its status as a guardian of the heavens.
The coin’s antique finish accentuates every scale, curl, and contour, adding depth and a timeless, aged character.
The obverse features the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, along with the coin’s weight, purity, monetary denomination, and 2022 year-date.
