2024 Chad 10,000 Francs 2-oz Silver Dragon Boat-Shaped High Relief Gilded Coin

Incredible Shaped Dragon Boat Coin Is Rich In Chinese Folklore

China's annual Dragon Boat Festival is one of its most important national holidays. It's held each year on the fifth day of the fifth month of the Chinese calendar, which corresponds to late May or June on Western calendars. In Chinese folklore, dragons are seen as both a protector and a threat, able to bring on rain or cause droughts. To honor this powerful creature, people created long narrow boats that they raced in an annual rainmaking festival. Today, the annual festival is a joyous celebration that showcases China's rich cultural heritage–a tradition celebrated on this delightful coin struck in the shape of traditional dragon boat with sails!

Struck in two full ounces of highly pure 99.9% fine silver, this amazing coin not only features an impressive design that was inspired by centuries of Chinese culture and heritage, but it was minted in incredible High Relief (HR) detail and gilded in gleaming gold! It also comes in original Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) condition meaning that the images are crisp, clear, and razor sharp. The overall result is nothing short of incredible! One look and you'll agree that this incredible shaped dragon boat-themed coin is rich in Chinese folklore–and a piece that's ready to become a treasured part of your collection!

Honoring The Origins Of The Dragon Boat Festival

The origins of the Dragon Boat Festival, known as Duanwu in China, can be traced to southern China where it evolved from the practice of revering the river dragon to the commemoration of Qu Yuan, a famous third-century Chinese poet and political figure of the state of Chu in ancient China. In 2024, the Dragon Boat holiday runs from June 8–10 during which time people will celebrate with not only dragon boat races, but with willow shooting; feasts of rice dumplings, eggs, and ruby sulphur wine; and folk entertainments including opera, song, and unicorn dances
