{{/presale}}2024 welcomes the Year of the Dragon on the Chinese Lunar Calendar. The dragon, a mystical creature, holds a special place as the fifth animal in the 12-year Zodiac cycle. In Chinese culture, it’s as significant as the bald eagle is in America. You can now own a piece of this cultural heritage with our 10 oz Silver Year of the Dragon Bars, available online at Provident Metals.
Highlights:
In Chinese tradition, the dragon symbolizes imperial power and is considered the most auspicious and powerful creature in their mythology. Emperors were often likened to dragons, and dragon motifs adorned imperial architecture, clothing, and art, symbolizing authority and legitimacy.
Obverse
On the obverse side of the 10 oz Silver Year of the Dragon Bar, you’ll find the magnificent Chinese dragon. Unlike Western depictions, Chinese dragons are benevolent and protective beings. They are believed to control essential elements like rain, bringing prosperity and fertility to the land.
Reverse
The reverse of these Silver Year of the Dragon Bars features a recurring design element that’s consistent with the series, creating a captivating visual appeal.
History
Many Chinese myths depict dragons as wise and knowledgeable beings who impart valuable wisdom to humans. The dragon’s association with wisdom is reflected in its depiction as a guardian on important cultural artifacts like the ancient Chinese compass, known as the “dragon’s pointer.”
