Obverse
The obverse of the coin proudly displays the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, designed by Ian Rank-Broadley in 1998. Her Majesty graces the coin with a right-profile depiction, wearing the elegant Girls of Great Britain and Ireland Tiara.
Reverse
Turning to the reverse side, you’ll be captivated by the image of the Chinese dragon in pursuit of a flaming pearl. The mythical dragon, deeply rooted in Chinese folklore for thousands of years, is often depicted as a composite creature with the body of a snake, the scales of a fish, the talons of an eagle, and the antlers of a deer.
History
People born in the Year of the Dragon, according to the Chinese zodiac, are believed to inherit the dragon’s characteristics. They are considered to be confident, ambitious, charismatic, and natural-born leaders.
