Divine dragons
In Chinese mythology , the dragon is a divine creature and an auspicious symbol of power , strength , wealth , and good fortune . Throughout East Asia and beyond , koi are synonymous with harmony and happiness , and are also said to be lucky omens for marriage and fertility .
These 1oz silver coins unite the symbolism of the dragon and koi , their colour treatments further underlying traditional beliefs .
A green dragon is associated with springtime and renewal ; a red koi predicts life changes , love , and motherhood .
As China ’ s national colour , red is the most auspicious hue for a dragon ; a gold koi is believed to attract prosperity and luck .
Eyed by both creatures , the flame-ringed pearl is the ancient embodiment of wisdom . Also in the design is a ‘ moon bridge ’ – it ’ s high arch and reflection on the water creating the shape of the lunar body often associated with purity or perfection .
