Description
Combine stunning art, superb engraving detail, precious silver with gold elements, and a bit of good fortune with this auspicious 2023 $50 fine silver coin featuring the Heavenly Dragon, who safeguards every place you call home. In Chinese mythology, Tianlong is the Heavenly Dragon—the divine and benevolent long dragon of the skies and the guardian of celestial palaces. Mintage is limited to 2,088. HST/GST exempt.
The Design:
As gold is the colour of prosperity and good fortune, selective gold plating has been used to enhance the design and add a golden gleam to both the Heavenly Dragon and its pearl. The Heavenly Dragon is seen with its feathered tail coiling gracefully behind it. Tianlong flits among the swirly clouds and holds a pearl in its mouth. The coin comes presented in a premium red display case and beauty box.
The obverse features a selectively gold plated double dated 1952-2022 posthumous effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
