Coin | Silver Ounce 2024 Year of the Dragon - APMEX (bar) |
---|
|
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 one-ounce silver bar dedicated to the 2024 Chinese Lunar Year of the Dragon is part of the APMEX "Series 2" range dedicated to the Chinese Lunar calendar.
APMEX says about it: Rooted in ancient lore, the Chinese zodiac assigns each year to one of 12 animals, each carrying its unique symbolism. The dragon, a central figure in this celestial cycle, embodies power, strength and good fortune. Legends speak of the dragon's auspicious role in the creation of the lunar calendar, securing its position as the sole mythical creature in this revered system.
Step into the mythical realm of the dragon, a symbol steeped in cultural significance and mythological allure. Representing imperial power and benevolence, the dragon commands respect in ancient Chinese folklore. As the only mythical creature in the zodiac, the dragon captivates us with its majestic presence. The APMEX Lunar Year of the Dragon 1 oz silver bar pays homage to this legendary creature, capturing its essence with meticulous detailing that reflects the majesty and grace associated with this celestial being. |
