Reverse
The reverse side of 2025 Rectangular Dragon 1 oz Gold Coins highlights a traditional Chinese dragon with a curling, snake-like shape that moves across the field. These dragons arent seen as dangerous but instead as protective and lucky creatures. Theyre a common symbol in Chinese architecture, parades, and rituals. Inscriptions read 2025 and the P mint mark.
History
Chinese artwork has long shown dragons with long, coiled bodies, four legs, flowing hair, and the magical ability to fly even without wings. Theyre often drawn among clouds or rising from choppy seas. These dragons are a familiar sight in silk paintings, jade carvings, and hand-painted porcelain, usually depicted in bold colors such as gold and red to show their noble and celestial nature.
