Canadian Silver and Gold Coin "Heavenly Dragon"

The February 2023 Canadian "Heavenly Dragon" coin is one of the most sought-after by collectors due to its extreme rarity. Its symbolism is great, and the story connects Canadian and Chinese cultures. Legendary creatures are a favorite subject for many connoisseurs. The coin's characteristics are :

Since the Legendary Creatures coin theme is my favorite, I'll share about their mythology.

According to Chinese mythology, the Heavenly Dragon Tienlong guards the gods and is a symbol of abundance, luck, and prosperity /gold is also a symbol of this/. This powerful being has a benevolent and positive influence on any place called home, according to Chinese legends.

It's no coincidence that the silver coin comes in a lacquered red wooden box because it corresponds to the Chinese New Year custom of giving "lucky money" in such a colored envelope. Red is a very positive color when it comes to abundance and prosperity.

The beautiful 5 oz silver coin with an outstanding design is considered a wish for financial blessings.
