Niue 2024 YEAR of DRAGON + Pearl of Wisdom $100 1 Troy Oz Gold Proof—MINTAGE 150

Description: In Stock and Ready for Immediate Shipping! SOLD OUT at the Mint on Pre-Release! Celebrate the most auspicious Year of the Dragon with this gorgeous and dramatic one troy ounce pure gold beauty, with stunning cameo proof finish and a tiny mintage of just 150! A magnificently detailed dragon, bringing good fortune and strength, flies through the clouds (themselves representing good luck and happiness), dominating the tableau and exuding a tangible aura of power. The Chinese character for "Dragon" has been incused within the Pearl of Wisdom, firmly grasped between the dragon’s claws. There are no legends on the obverse, to further enhance this dramatic scene. Royal Mint engraver Jody Clark’s brand-new effigy of King Charles III graces the reverse. Struck from one full troy ounce of pure gold, each Dragon coin resides in a handsome presentation case, protected by black and gold outer box. An individually numbered certificate of authenticity is included. Best of all is the mintage—just 150, tremendously low for such a desirable and stunning beauty. With its extremely limited mintage, make this auspicious Dragon yours today! Absolutely tiny mintage—just 150—don't delay, this dramatic pure gold Dragon proof will sell out quickly! The Year of the Dragon—Most Powerful and Auspicious! Centuries ago, the Chinese invented a calendar based on the lunar (rather than the solar) cycle. There are twelve animals in the Chinese lunar zodiac, each corresponding in sequence to a year rather than a month. In 2024 we celebrate the Year of the Dragon. According to tradition, people born during a Year of the Dragon (1904, 1916, 1928, 1940, 1952, 1964, 1976, 1988, 2000, 2012 and 2024) are said to exhibit that animal’s attributes. While Dragons frequently help others, rarely will they ask for help. Others are attracted to Dragons, especially their colorful personalities, but deep down, Dragons prefer to be alone. Perhaps that is because they’re most successful when working alone. Their preference to be alone can come across as arrogance or conceitedness, but these qualities aren't applicable. Dragons have tempers that can flare fast! They’re driven, unafraid of challenges, and willing to take risks. They’re passionate in all they do and they do things in grand fashion. The Dragon in the East The Oriental or Chinese concept of the dragon is much different than the European notion of this beast. Whereas in the West dragons are nearly always evil, fire breathing creatures of immense size and destructiveness, in the East they are beloved. Chinese dragons are benevolent, representing most auspicious powers, particularly control over water, rainfall, and floods. In yin and yang terminology, a dragon is yang (male) and perfectly complements a yin (female) fenghuang, the mythical "Chinese phoenix". The dragon is a mystical being, able to use an almost unlimited range of magical or supernatural powers. It is able to disguise itself as a tiny silkworm, or become as large as our entire universe. It can fly among the clouds or hide in water. It can form clouds, turn into water or fire, become invisible or glow in the dark. It is interesting to note that the Oriental dragon's ability to fly is a magical (not a physical) ability; unlike European dragons, Chinese dragons are rarely if ever depicted with physical wings. Historically, the dragon was the symbol of the Emperor of China. Many pictures of oriental dragons show a flaming pearl under their chin or in their grasp. The pearl is associated with wealth, good luck, and prosperity. In Chinese culture, the pearl also symbolizes perfection, which is only obtained through the highest forms of wisdom. As such, the pearl is retained in the clutches of the dragon, who, like the emperor, reveals great "pearls of wisdom" as it bestows abundance and prosperity upon its people.

Reverse His Majesty, King Charles III, in profile effigy facing left. This portrait was executed by the engraver Jody Clark. The legend CHARLES III, the date of issue and denomination also appear, while the legend 1 OZ 9999 GOLD guarantees the weight and purity.
