In Chinese culture, dragons are deeply symbolic creatures, portrayed quite differently than their counterparts in Western legends. Called lng in Mandarin, these dragons have long, snake-like bodies, four legs, and no wings, with scale patterns inspired by a variety of animals. The Royal Canadian Mints Canadian Dragon Series honors this legendary figure. Provident Metals now offers the 2021 Canadian Dragon 1/4 oz Gold Coin as part of this series.
Highlights:
Each 2021 Canadian Dragon 1/4 oz Gold Coin is shipped in protective plastic to preserve its condition. These coins are struck with reverse-proof visuals, where the background has a matte finish and the dragon design shines with a polished surface. Produced from 2017 to 2023, the Canadian Dragon Series features a new dragon design with each yearly release.
Obverse
On the obverse side of the 2021 Canadian Dragon Gold Coin, youll find a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. This likeness was designed by Susanna Blunt in 2003 and shows the Queen facing right without a crown. It is one of only two royal effigies on Canadian coins created by a Canadian artist and is appreciated for its understated elegance. Inscriptions here read ELIZABETH II, D.G. REGINA, and 10 DOLLARS.
Reverse
The reverse of 2021 Dragon 1/4 oz Gold Coins shows a stylized Chinese dragon curving into the shape of the number 8. In traditional artwork, dragons are commonly seen playing with or chasing a flaming pearl, a symbol that can represent the moon, wisdom, or prosperity. Inscriptions here include CANADA, 2021, 999 FINE GOLD, and 1/4 OZ OR PUR 9999.
History
Throughout history, dragons in Chinese culture were viewed as protectors of water and rain, which made them especially important to farming communities. These communities would often look to dragons for favorable weather. This connection to water gave dragons a strong link to wealth and success, and over time, they also became symbols of royal authority.
