The Nine Dragons

The theme of this magnificent new Tokelau series, Auspicious Dragon Zodiac Pairs speaks of the influence of pairing the auspicious dragon with the current Chinese New Year's zodiac animal sign. The dragon adds its influence of hope, luck, and success to the Ox's determined diligence, patience, and persistent strength. This pairing is said to bring forth the most favorable of influences for the lunar year.

The obverse displays the Jody Clark effigy of Queen Elizabeth II displayed on a legal tender bullion coin. Inscriptions at the outer rim include, "TOKELAU . 2021 . 25 DOLLARS" and "Elizabeth II," encircle the inset rim.

The reverse of this 2022 Tokelau Nine Sons of the Dragon King 5 oz Silver Antiqued coin features an incredibly powerful depiction of the nine dragons reaching toward the fireball in the center, sometimes referred to the "Flaming Pearl" or "Pearl of Wisdom," which is a symbol of prosperity, wisdom, and luck, and it also has significance in Taoism and Buddhism as a sacred pearl that grants wishes, according to the mint.

The mint also states:

The 9 dragons illustrated in close pursuit of the Flaming Pearl thus represent that success and prosperity are soon to be expected, an indication of good fortune and luck. As the dragons move towards the Flaming Pearl, clouds form beneath them that represent the dragon's breath, also called "Sheng Chi" or "Cosmic Breath". This is the most desired energy in Feng Shui that attracts wealth, luck, and fortune. The clever and intricate use of depth in executing the engraving brings this out to a superb 3D effect. Each feature on the dragons’ body and face is distinctively struck, and at the top of the coin lies an ingot and ancient Chinese coins while the dragons all look and move towards it, symbolizing a clear and defined path to good fortune.

Bi-Metal-Plus

The production of this magnificent coin has been made possible only through a minting technique known as Bi-Metal-Plus. The process begins with an 32.15 oz copper core within two layers of 999 fine silver. This results in a large 80mm diameter, double that of a normal collectible bullion coin. The 32.15 oz copper core adds tremendous bulk and weight without the extra cost of an equivalent amount of silver weight. This also allows for the super ultra-high relief strike that brings alive the coin's incredibly detailed design.
