This Azure Dragon coin highlights a key figure central to Asian cultures. This dragon is one of the mythological Four Guardians which includes the Azure Dragon of the East, Vermillion Bird of the South, White Tiger of the West, and Black Turtle of the North. Each of these beasts was chosen based on interpretations of the constellations. Furthermore, these Guardians’ colors were identified based on the soil found in China in each cardinal direction. The Azure Dragon represents not only the blue-grey soil of the watery East but also the season of spring and the element of wood. Honor the beauty of ancient Asian mythology with this gorgeous bi-metallic coin.

This silver and copper coin was minted with a special process called Bi-Metal Plus. This process required completely covering an 11.5 oz copper center with 2 oz layers of .999 fine silver. These ultra-high relief coins were then given an antique finish.

The obverse of this silver and copper collectible coin features the Ian Rank-Broadley depiction of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II wearing her crown and earrings. She is placed in a striking yin-and-yang octagon over a background with a traditional Chinese constellation map. The border of the design has traditional kanji marking the map.

The reverse of the bi-metallic coin displays an impressive illustration of the mythological Azure Dragon. On the right side of the coin is gilded Chinese kanji.
