Coin | Silver Ounce 2024 Year of the Dragon - Asahi |

|
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.
The release of this silver round marks the first in what Asahi Refining announced would be an ongoing series of gold and silver bullion celebrating the Chinese Lunar New Year, and marks the 2024 Lunar Year of the Dragon.
“Asahi Refining’s dedication to producing products that resonate with both collectors and investors is underscored by the launch of the 2024 Lunar Dragon 1oz Silver Round. This release blends artistic craftsmanship with the rich symbolism of the Lunar New Year, resulting in an investment piece that holds both aesthetic appeal and meaning.” explained Matt Pragg, Commercial Manager for Asahi Refining North America. |
