Own a Piece of Chinese Culture! One of the oldest and richest cultures on the planet continues to contribute to the world in countless ways, not the least of which is numismatics. The ancient Chinese believed themselves to be ancestors of the dragon, which is viewed very differently in the East than it is in the West, where it is typically portrayed as a demonic figure.
By contrast, the creature represents luck, power, strength, and wealth in Chinese culture. Not surprisingly, then, the figure is often represented at celebrations and in gifts. This coin, which was struck at the world-renowned Perth Mint, shows the dragon with a rotating charm. The charm represents a pearl, an object with which the dragon is often shown. The charm is at the center of this coin and can be moved with a touch.
