Special features

• Fifth Chinese spiritual dragon. Chinese spiritual dragons are regarded as benevolent mythological creatures, and they are among our most popular annual themes. Inspired by Chinese mythology, this coin continues our tradition of showcasing the art motifs, symbols and legends that are a cherished part of Chinese-Canadian culture.
• Affordable gold. Struck on a 1/20 oz. (14.1 mm diameter) gold blank, this limited collectible is one of the most affordable ways to own 99.99% pure gold. It is slightly smaller than a dime, but the complexity of its engraved design will astound you!
• Lucky 8. Traditionally, “8” is the luckiest number. To attract good luck and fortune, the auspicious number has been incorporated into the mintage (8,888) and the coin’s denomination ($8).
• Red packaging. Your golden Spiritual Dragon coin comes packaged in a black clamshell with a red beauty box—red to attract good luck in 2025.
• Rare and in high demand. Previous dragon coins all sold out quickly, and only 8,888 pure gold Water Dragon coins are available worldwide.
• Includes serialized certificate. The Royal Canadian Mint certifies all of its collector coins.
• No GST/HST.

Packaging

Your gold coin is presented in a Royal Canadian Mint-branded black clamshell and packaged in a red graphic beauty box, evoking the Chinese New Year "red envelope" tradition of bestowing a wish for luck and good fortune.
