2020 China Silver Azure Dragon Vault Protector 2-pc Set NGC PF70UC First Day of Issue w/Song Signature

Secure the Azure Dragon of the East — China’s Legendary Symbol of Spring

According to ancient Chinese folklore that dates back more than 6,000 years, there are four mythological creatures that protect the world. Each stands guard in four directions of the compass — North, South, East and West — and represents a different season. Now these fabled beasts are ready protect your collection thanks to a new series from China entitled the Four Guardians of China Vault Protector Series.

A Stunning Design of Good Fortune

The second release in the series depicts the Azure Dragon (Qing Long) of the East, the representation of Spring. According to Chinese folklore, the Azure Dragon controls the movement of the stars and creates the division of the sky and the earth. In addition, this holy beast’s element is wood. In this two-piece set you can acquire both the one-ounce and five-ounce medals, each struck in highly pure 99.9% fine silver. These 2020-dated medals also pay tribute to China’s Vault Protector coins — classic “cash” coins that were round with square holes in the center. They were hung with silk in both personal and government vaults as a way to protect wealth against disaster and to ensure the favor of the gods.

These pieces are the work of China Mint coin designer Song Fei and depict the Azure Dragon as it coils around the center square. The creature’s deeply recessed stripes, fangs and teeth are among the brightly polished surfaces that offer a sharp contrast to the frosty images in the body and head area. The effect is stunning and a little terrifying — but have no fear; dragons are a sign of good fortune. The obverse features a section of the Great Wall of China.
