2022 Canada $8 Earth Dragon Pure Gold Coin (No Tax)

Celebrate Chinese New Year with an auspicious golden dragon! According to Chinese mythology, Dilong is the Earth Dragon or Underground Dragon that rules over rivers and streams, and on this 99.99% pure gold coin, the Earth Dragon keeps a watchful eye over Canada’s waterways. While its features imply great strength and courage, this dragon also holds the yin-yang symbol that represents unity, balance and harmony.

Designed by graphic designer Albert Ng, your coin’s reverse is inspired by ancient Chinese mythology and features Dilong, the Earth Dragon. This traditional protector of waterways stands dignified and proud, with features that imply valour and strength; its sharp claws grip a yin-yang symbol that represents unity, balance and harmony. The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.
