1 troy ounce Chinese Silver Dragon Coin, 2025
Description
The People's Bank of China has officially announced the issuance of a new 1 troy ounce Chinese Silver Dragon coin for the year 2025. This marks a significant release for collectors and investors, being touted by some as the first in a new Silver Dragon bullion series from the Chinese Mint.
The coin, struck from .999 fine silver, weighs 1 troy ounce (31.104 grams) and carries a face value of 10 Yuan. It boasts a diameter of 38 mm and is presented in Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) condition. The worldwide mintage for this inaugural dragon coin is limited to 2,000,000 pieces.
Reverse Design
Chinese dragon, a creature revered for millennia as a symbol of strength, good fortune, wisdom, and imperial power. The dragon coils and writhes with palpable energy, its scales meticulously rendered, its claws sharp, and its gaze intense. It moves amongst a field of auspicious clouds, a traditional motif signifying good luck, heavenly grace, and the dragon's celestial domain. The masterful engraving captures a sense of movement and vitality, making the dragon appear almost alive on the coin's surface. This side also clearly displays the coin’s metallic purity and weight – "31.104g Ag .999" – and its official legal tender face value of "10 元" (10 Yuan), issued by the People's Bank of China.
Obverse Design
Turning the coin over, the obverse features another iconic symbol of China: the Great Wall. This awe-inspiring architectural marvel, a testament to centuries of human endeavor and resilience, stretches across the design, its ancient stones and watchtowers depicted with remarkable clarity. The Great Wall represents not only China's profound history but also its enduring strength and protective spirit.
Above this powerful image, the coin bears the inscription "中华人民共和国" (People's Republic of China), affirming its official sovereign status. The year of issue, "2025", is prominently displayed below the Great Wall, anchoring this stunning piece in time. The combination of the Dragon and the Great Wall creates a powerful narrative, bridging ancient mythology with tangible history, and celestial power with earthly fortitude.
The Chinese Mint's Tradition of Excellence
The Chinese Mint is globally recognized for its high-quality bullion and commemorative coins, most notably the beloved Silver Panda series. This new Silver Dragon series continues that tradition of excellence, combining meticulous craftsmanship with designs rich in cultural symbolism. The launch of an official Silver Dragon bullion coin is a landmark event, eagerly awaited by the numismatic community.
