2024 is the Year of the Dragon according to the Chinese Zodiac. The dragon is the fifth creature in the 12-year cycle and is the only mythical being among them. The Perth Mint celebrates this special year with a unique design that features the dragon and the five elements of the world. The 2024 Antique Colorized Tuvalu Dragon and the Five Elements 5 oz Silver Coins are now available at Provident Metals.
Highlights:
Every 2024 Antique Colorized Tuvalu Dragon and the Five Elements 5 oz Silver Coin comes with a Perth Mint presentation box and a themed outer shipper. These coins also include a numbered Certificate of Authenticity from the Perth Mint. They have a beautiful antique finish and selective colorization on the reverse side.
Obverse
On the obverse of these 2024 Antique Colorized Tuvalu Dragon and the Five Elements Silver Coins, you’ll find a depiction of King Charles III. This left-profile portrait was designed by Jody Clark, the same artist who created the final portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. The inscriptions read KING CHARLES III, TUVALU, 5 OZ 9999 AG, 2024, and 5 DOLLARS.
Reverse
The reverse side of the 2024 Antique Colorized Dragon and the Five Elements 5 oz Silver Coins features a Year of the Dragon design. The five elements’ emblems are positioned around the outer edge, with the five colorized dragons representing each element meeting at the center. The inscriptions here include EARTH, FIRE, WOOD, WATER, and METAL with each corresponding element, as well as a P mint mark.
History
The Dragon is the only mythical creature in the Chinese zodiac and is highly revered in Chinese culture. Years of the Dragon are often considered particularly auspicious, with many couples planning to have children during Dragon years.
