Being the most supreme lunar animal, the dragon possesses almighty power. It symbolises power, wealth, luck and success. So an emperor is deemed as the “Son of the Dragon”, and an eminent person the “Dragon Among Men”. The Chinese even claim themselves as the “Descendants of the Dragon”, making it evident that dragon is an important cultural icon. To celebrate 2024 as the Year of the Dragon, the famous Royal Mint has released a new series of “Hong Kong Year of the Dragon Gold Proof Medals” in limited worldwide edition! Each reverse features a contemporary view of the Victoria Harbour, capturing the very essence of Hong Kong’s spirit. Sparkling with the extreme nobleness of pure gold, these are true treasures with everlasting value!
