Unlock prosperity by harnessing the flow of positive energy. Order yours today!

Panlong, the powerful Water Dragon of Chinese mythology, can bestow good fortune and prosperity through its command of natural forces by summoning the rains that are vital for a bountiful harvest. On this selectively gold-plated 99.99% pure silver coin, Panlong’s ability to navigate the changing tides and rise above troubled waters is an inspiring sight, and it serves as a visual expression of a wish for a steady stream of good fortune, the smooth flow of positive energy, and waves upon waves of prosperity.

The powerful Water Dragon symbolizes the flow of good fortune.

A powerful rain deity, Panlong (“coiled dragon”) is restricted to rivers, lakes and oceans, where the Water Dragon’s fluid movements reflect the natural rhythms of its aquatic domain.

Designed by artist Simon Ng, the coin’s reverse depicts Panlong, the auspicious water dragon of Chinese mythology, as a vibrant and powerful creature writhing in a tumultuous sea, where its tail is raised high above the crashing waves. Flowing movements are emphasized throughout the design, from the tail fins that flow like banners in a heavy wind, to the mane that resembles seaweed swaying in the current. Plated with gold, Panlong’s coiled body is adorned with elements inspired by traditional Chinese depictions of aquatic scenery, including: a bird that symbolizes freedom and happiness; a butterfly symbolizing love, immortality and rebirth; carp/koi, which represents prosperity and abundance; and the lotus, the flowering symbol of purity and harmony. The obverse features a stylized wave pattern and the gold-plated effigy of His Majesty King Charles III by Canadian artist Steven Rosati.

Special Features:

• Bring dragon energy into the new year. The Water Dragon brings blessings of good fortune and prosperity, as expressed on the coin’s reverse.
• Gold plating. Gold is both the metal element and traditional colour of prosperity and good fortune, and on your coin’s reverse, selective gold plating adds a rich golden gleam to the already-ornate dragon.
• Special themed packaging. Red is the colour of luck and good fortune—the coin comes in an elegant, red lacquered wood case packaged inside a red beauty box.
• A continuing tradition. A revered cultural symbol, the dragon is the most powerful creature in Chinese mythology, and it is one of the most popular themes among collectors. This coin continues the tradition of showcasing art motifs, symbols and legends that are a cherished part of Chinese-Canadian culture.
• Limited mintage, high demand. While mintage is limited to 2,588 coins (“8” is thought to be the luckiest number), previous dragon coins have all sold out quickly.

The coin is encapsulated and presented in a red lacquered wood case with a special-themed, red and gold coloured beauty box.
