2018 Niue 1 Ounce $2 Silver Double Dragon Pearl of Wisdom Gem BU
Silver Coin Shows that Two Dragons are Better Than One
According to Chinese mythology, the dragon is the most powerful sign in the12-year lunar calendar. People born during a dragon year are said to be lucky, pleasant and will lead happy lives. It’s no wonder that the birthrate in China spikes during such years as parents attempt to have “dragon babies.” In fact, studies have shown that China’s dragon babies really are more successful! While Western researchers say the success is due more to extra doses of nurturing and not the supernatural, there’s no denying the beauty of these new highly pure silver coins from the prestigious New Zealand Mint that feature not one, but TWO Chinese dragons!
The appearance of two Chinese dragons is doubly auspicious on these legal-tender silver coins struck in a full ounce of 99.9% fine silver. They are depicted circling the flaming pearl of wisdom – symbolic of the dragon’s eternal quest for power and knowledge. Chinese art often depicts a pair of dragons chasing or fighting over the flaming pearl. The design of the dragons on the coin is shown within a reverse-scalloped decorative frame upon a light-refracting field designed to look like dragon scales. The same frame and dragon-scale field is repeated on the coin’s obverse where Ian Rank-Broadley’s traditional portrait of Queen Elizabeth II is featured.
Your 2018-dated Double Dragon Pearl of Wisdom One-Ounce Silver Coin is $2 legal tender in the island nation of Niue and will come in Gem Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) condition, as fresh and crisp as the day it left the mint. Fans of Chinese culture and silver stackers alike will be vying for these highly pure silver coins. Don’t miss out – reserve one or several coins now!
