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 plum blossom, a popular symbol in Chinese history, art, and lanterns, the
dragon’s depiction appeals to children. The inscription 'Year of the dragon’
and the yeardate appear at the center of the coin. The ideogram of the dragon
appears below.
On the
reverse side, all the animals of the Chinese zodiac are drawn in a cartoon-like
way around the Ying and Yang symbol. A complete cycle of the Chinese zodiac
will be composed from 2018 to 2029. Each of these twelve years features an
animal from this calendar. The face value is visible in the center of the coin
as well as the symbol "RF".
