In the United States, a significant number of private mints produce bullion which is not legal tender and is targeted at investors and not at coin collectors - such as this one.
This cast bar was released in 2023.
Scottsdale Mint says about it: Introducing the exquisite Silver Lucky Dragon Bar, a mesmerising bullion piece that encapsulates the allure of Chinese culture and the symbolism of good fortune. Crafted with utmost precision, this bar weighs a remarkable 8.88 troy ounces, a number considered highly auspicious in Chinese tradition.
At the heart of this remarkable silver bar lies a magnificent portrayal of a Chinese dragon, a legendary creature renowned for its benevolent nature and association with prosperity. The intricate detailing of the dragon, representing prosperity and good luck, with its sinuous body and fierce expression holds a pearl in its right hand, which itself is a symbol of wisdom, spiritual energy and power, while in its left hand, a pole with a flowing ribbon, spelling out “888”, flies above the dragon's head.
Each Silver Lucky Dragon Bar is meticulously minted using .999 fine silver, ensuring the highest level of purity and quality and is serialised to ensure it’s uniqueness. The bar’s substantial weight of 8.88 troy ounces not only makes it a coveted addition to any precious metals collection but also adds a layer of cultural significance, as the number 8 is often associated with great fortune, wealth and spiritual enlightenment. Hence, 888 is considered triple fortune.
This extraordinary silver bar serves as both an investment and a cherished keepsake which makes a perfect heirloom piece or a thoughtful gift for someone who appreciates the fusion of elegance and symbolism.
Whether you are a collector, an investor, or someone who appreciates the beauty and cultural significance of Chinese art, the Silver Dragon Bar with its 8.88 troy ounces of silver and beautiful design is sure to captivate your imagination and bring you good fortune with every glance.
