2023 Fiji $5 5-oz Silver Egyptian Dragon Proof NGC PF70UC First Day of Issue

Egyptian Folklore Collides With Modern Technology To Help Create These Spectacular Coins

Dragons and other mythical beasts are among the world’s most popular coin themes. HBO’s popular Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon series have helped fuel recent interest in these exotic creatures, and releases from programs such as The Royal Mint’s Queens Beasts or the China Mint’s vast array of Dragon coinage have cemented dragon lore into numismatic history. And now, the latest released in the groundbreaking “Dragons of the World” series has returned ready to “breath fire” into an already hot collector market!

Egypt’s Lord Of Chaos

And here, only while supplies last, we have the second release in the series, an amazing coin struck in five ounces of highly pure 99.9% fine silver that features the famous Egyptian Dragon! In Egyptian mythology, the Dragon is known as “Apep,” and is often referred to as the “Lord of Chaos.” Apep is depicted as a massive serpent that stretches across the sky and tries to swallow the sun each day. Th­ough generally believed to be the enemy of order and the forces of good, the Dragon was also a symbol of transformation and rebirth, with the power to transform and transcend. Often depicted biting its own tail. The Egyptian Dragon also represents the ideas of perpetuity immortality, repetition, and cycles.

High Relief Detail Combines With “Cupped” Convex/Concave Shape

The incredible dragon design depicts the iconic Egyptian Dragon in a folded, almost bat-like, pose! The beast’s family pedigree is inscribed around the rim in dramatic text that reads, “EGYPTIAN DRAGON” and “DRAGONS OF THE WORLD.” In addition to the design of a fearsome-looking dragon, another truly unique aspect of this piece is its stunning Ultra High Relief (UHR) detail combined with a technologically advanced minting technique which produced a “cupped” shape that’s deeply convex on one side and concave on the other.
