In imperial China, the five-clawed Golden Dragon was a symbol reserved solely for the emperor. Unauthorized use of this emblem could lead to severe consequences. The claws signified status: five for the emperor, four for nobility, and three for commoners. Now, you can own a 2024 Colorized Australian Lunar Golden Dragon 1/2 oz Silver Coin from Provident Metals.
Highlights:
All 2024 Colorized Australian Lunar Golden Dragon 1/2 oz Silver Coins come with individual capsules and are in Brilliant Uncirculated condition. The coins feature colorized images on the reverse to highlight the significance of the Golden Dragon in Chinese culture.
Obverse
The obverse of the 2024 Colorized Australian Lunar Golden Dragon Silver Coin displays an effigy of Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. This final effigy was created by Jody Clark in 2015 and shows the Queen wearing the George IV State Diadem Crown at the age of 89. Inscriptions include ELIZABETH II, 1952-2022, AUSTRALIA, 1/2 OZ 9999 AG, and 50 CENTS.
Reverse
On the reverse side of the 2024 Colorized Lunar Golden Dragon 1/2 oz Silver Coin, the Golden Dragon is depicted. Chinese dragons are typically shown as serpent-like creatures with four legs and a forked tongue. This design features the Golden Dragon with golden scales, turquoise spikes along its back, and a flaming pearl in front of it. The inscriptions include DRAGON, 2024, the P125 mint mark, and the Chinese emblem for the dragon.
History
Nine is considered the most yang of numbers in Chinese numerology. The association between the Golden Dragon and nine strengthens its imperial and auspicious symbolism. The nine-dragon wall () is a famous motif in imperial architecture, featuring nine golden dragons. The number nine also represents completeness and eternity in Chinese culture.
