The Dragon is one of the 12 animals in the Chinese zodiac cycle. It is considered one of the most powerful and auspicious animals, symbolizing strength, vitality, and good luck. The dragon holds a significant place in Chinese culture dating back thousands of years. Unlike the Western concept of dragons as fearsome creatures, Chinese dragons are seen as benevolent and powerful symbols of imperial authority, divine protection, and good fortune.
The obverse side of 2024 Proof British Gold Year of the Dragon Coins comes with a vision of King Charles III. This is the first-generation effigy during his reign and was introduced in 2023. Created by Martin Jennings in 2022, the image shows His Majesty in left-profile relief without a crown on his head.
On the reverse of the 2024 1 oz Proof Gold Year of the Dragon Coin, you will find the image of a dragon. This powerful Chinese dragon is shown coiled in front-facing relief. Beneath the figure of the dragon, a rive cuts through wooded highlands.
