Description

Every year, the chinese calendar series presents a new animal. 2024 is the year of the dragon.

In Chinese culture, this mythical animal symbolizes power, nobleness and success. Therefore, natives of the dragon sign are naturally charismatic people to whom luck often smiles.

Surrounded by a circle of traditional Chinese motives, a dragon is featured in the center of the coin. It goes through the coin using the door displayed on the reverse. The mythical creature is featured with the traditional look of the dragon in Chinese iconography. The ideogram of the dragon appears on the right side. The yeardate 2024 and the inscription "Year of the Dragon" appear at the top, in the outer circle.

The reverse shows all the animals of the Chinese zodiac. They are all featured on a screen surrounding a traditional Chinese temple door. A complete cycle of the Chinese zodiac will be composed from 2018 to 2029. Each of these twelve years therefore features an animal from this calendar. The face value is visible at the top left and the “RF” mention is on the door.
