{{/presale}}The number 8 has long been considered a lucky number in Chinese traditions. Another important aspect of Chinas rich history is the symbolic significance of the tiger and dragon. They are seen as having opposite yet complementary characteristics and are thus considered to be representations of Yin and Yang. To celebrate these ideas, the tiger and dragon are presented on a brand-new coin in the shape of a figure 8. Provident Metals currently has 2022 Antique Tokelau Figure 8 Dragon and Tiger 3 oz Silver Coins available to you for purchase online.

Obverse
On the obverse field of 2022 Antique Tokelau Figure 8 Dragon and Tiger 3 oz Coin you will find a portrait Queen Elizabeth II. This popular portrait was designed by Ian Rank-Broadley and is frequently used on coins throughout the Commonwealth nations. Inscriptions read ELIZABETH II, TOKELAU, 15 DOLLARs, 2022. There is also a curved line running through the obverse to form the Yin-Yang symbol of balance and harmony.
Reverse
A tiger and a dragon face off on the reverse side of 2022 Antique Figure 8 Dragon and Tiger 3 oz Silver Coins. The high relief designs give these creatures an almost life-like quality as they wrap their bodies around the figure 8 shape. The holes of the 8 are presented in the shape of octagons as a nod to the Bagua Chinese religious motif.
History
In China, the number 8 is a lucky number that represents wealth and prosperity. So, whenever this number appears, whether its in a phone number, house address, or an important date, good fortune is expected to follow. Another vital concept within Chinese culture is the idea of Yin and Yang. An entire philosophy exists around this notion and argues that all the contradictory forces in the world exist to bring balance and order to the universe. The tiger and dragon are symbolic representations of this powerful idea.
