2024 Canada 1/4 oz Silver Lunar Year of the Dragon
This intriguing silver coin from the Royal Canadian Mint celebrates the 2024 Year of the Dragon, a prominent symbol in the Chinese zodiac. Struck from a quarter ounce of 0.9999 pure silver, the piece showcases a detailed reverse design created by artist Aries Cheung. The artwork features a dynamic dragon stretching toward delicate plum blossoms and a traditional lantern, which is adorned with the Chinese character representing the dragon. The reverse side also displays the country name, the year 2024, and the face value of 8 dollars. On the obverse, the coin bears the likeness of Queen Elizabeth II, as designed by Susanna Blunt. This side features a unique four-pearl marking to represent the four different effigies of the Queen that have graced Canadian coinage, alongside the double date of 1952 to 2022 to mark her historic reign. This proof-quality release beautifully merges cultural celebration with royal remembrance.
