5 oz .999 silver
Description:
The coin’s reverse reveals a Chinese dragon in a dramatic frontal composition. Its head dominates the center, eyes fixed forward, around a flaming pearl, a symbol of knowledge. Around it, the body coils in circular motion, covered with intricate scales and surrounded by fire motifs. Sharp. Commanding. Alive with ancient energy. The design is enhanced by laser detail, giving depth to the dragon's scales, whiskers, claws, and flames, while the Proof-Like surface creates a bright metallic contrast across the scene. Included in the design is the Chinese character (龍) for ‘dragon to the right’, the metal, purity and weight "5 oz .999 silver" inscribed around below. All with a decorative circle.
