Here’s an exclusive first look at what could well be the next hot coin on the market. Designed and produced by Numiartis and the Mint of Poland, these are renders of the debut issue in a brand new series of Dragon coins. Where better to start than with the culture that reveres these mythical beasts more than any other – China.

The format of choice for the coin is a real favourite in the mythology genre. Two ounces of fine silver make up a rimless, ultra-high relief strike with an antique finish, An insert, in this case formed of coral, symbolises the Sun. The design is a very striking one. There looks to be an impressive level of relief and we know from our experience of previous Mint of Poland coin renders, that the finished article is well able to match the quality indicated by them. If you see detail on these renders, chances are you will see them equally clearly on the actual coin.
