Reverse
The reverse side of the 2024 Antique Djibouti Dragon Egg Silver Coin contains a baby dragon hatching forth from an egg. Because the coin itself is egg-shaped, this high-relief image has a particularly life-like quality to it. You can practically hear the egg cracking as the adorable baby dragons head protrudes forth to meet the world for the first time.
History
The dragon is the fifth overall animal in the Chinese lunar calendar. In case youre wondering why such a mighty creature is not higher up on the list of lunar animals, there are some explanations. One is that during the Great Race, the dragon paused to help a village suffering from a drought. As such, he fell behind and came in fifth place. This also reminds us that while the Western dragon is associated with fire, the Eastern dragon uses water to demonstrate its great power.
