The Story Celebrate the Year of the Dragon with a highly exclusive 99.99% pure silver kilo version of the 2024 Lunar Year of the Dragon pure gold kilo coin from the Royal Canadian Mint (new for 2024!). The most powerful and noble of all the Chinese Zodiac animals, the Dragon is the long-revered symbol of great power and good fortune, and it is surrounded by auspicious symbols on this magnificent 99.99% pure silver kilo coin. People born in the Year of the Dragon are natural-born leaders; they are known for their tenacity, strength and courage, and for their ability to overcome obstacles on their way to success. Under the auspicious influence of the Wood Dragon, 2024 brings the promise of progress and innovative ideas, for the Wood Dragon is quietly indomitable, creative and clever. Design The reverse design by artist Aries Cheung features a highly detailed depiction of the Chinese Zodiac’s most powerful animal sign, the Dragon, amid auspicious cherry blossoms and clouds. Facing the viewer, the Dragon offers the blessing of its magical powers, as it clutches the Dragon Pearl or Fire Ball representing wisdom and bearing the Chinese character “龍” (“Dragon”) in the Yan script calligraphy style. The reverse also includes the word “CANADA” and a face value of “250 DOLLARS”. The obverse features the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt with a repeating scallop pattern. The obverse also bears a special marking that includes four pearls symbolizing the four effigies that have graced Canadian coins and the double date of her reign. Key features Crafted in one kilogram of 99.99% pure silver, this collectible shares the same design as the 2024 Lunar Year of the Dragon gold kilo coin, the most prestigious piece in the Royal Canadian Mint’s annual Lunar New Year Designed to attract prosperity in 2024 and honour those born in the Year of the Dragon: 1928, 1940, 1952, 1964, 1976, 1988, 2000, 2012 and 2024.
