2024 Great Britain £25 1/4-oz Gold Lunar Year of the Dragon Proof

An Asian Dragon From England Arrives To Celebrate The Chinese New Year

Some people believe that Dragons are a symbol of power and authority, particularly control over typhoons, water, rainfall, and floods. Emperors especially were thought to be the human descendants of dragons. That is why it's no surprise that out of the twelve zodiac signs, the Dragon is the most popular. With 2024 marking the next "Dragon Year" occurrence, Great Britain's Royal Mint has made a stern-looking dragon the eleventh release in its popular ShÄ"ngxií o Collection that pays tribute to the animals of China's Lunar Calendar.

The Brave Adventurous Dragon

This 2024-dated release shows an astounding image of a Dragon designed by noted United Kingdom artist William Webb that captures the Dragon's characteristic qualities. Chinese dragons have sweeping powers–they breathe clouds, move the seasons, and control the waters of rivers, lakes, and seas. To illustrate those qualities, Webb shows his dragon floating in midair above a tree-lined river. The coin has also been engraved with "YEAR OF THE DRAGON "¢ 2024" along the top of the rim along with the Chinese symbol for Dragon at the bottom. It's a wonderful and exciting design that perfectly matches the spirit of the Dragon's personality. Those born during the Year of the Dragon are seen as being charismatic, intelligent, confident, powerful, and they are naturally lucky and gifted–all traits embodied by the Dragon depicted on this legal-tender £25 coin.
