In traditional Chinese culture, the serpent-like dragon is revered as a divine creature and potent symbol of power, wealth and good fortune. With a pattern on its forehead resembling the Chinese character for 'king', the tiger represents courage and leadership, while it's also considered to be the enemy of evil spirits.


When pictured together, the competitive duo is said to embody Yin and Yang, the feng shui concept that the universe is governed through the balance of opposing yet complementary principles.


The coin's coloured artistry employs twin dragon and tiger motifs - in artistic terms doubling the strength of the animals' auspicious influences. The four creatures surround the ancient Yin and Yang symbol, or taijitu, comprising a circle divided into black and white tear-shaped halves. The design also includes stylised clouds and peony flowers as symbols of good fortune associated with rain and abundant harvests.

The coin bears The Queen Elizabeth II Memorial Obverse, featuring the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy supplemented with the dates of her reign, as well as the coin's weight, purity, monetary denomination and 2023 year-date.

No more than 388 of the Double Dragon and Double Tiger 2023 5oz Silver Antiqued Coloured Coin will be released.

Each coin is housed in a classic display case within an illustrated shipper and accompanied by a numbered Certificate of Authenticity.
