Warm and generous

NEW RELEASE
A mesmerising 5oz 99.99 % pure silver coin , this piece portrays five intricately coloured Chinese dragons centred around a spiral denoting the ever-recurring lunar cycle .
Each dragon is accompanied by a circular motif containing the English word and Chinese character for one of the five elements - wood , fire , earth , metal , and water .
DRAGON AND THE FIVE ELEMENTS
According to the Chinese philosophy of Wuxing , the ebb and flow of these interconnected elements is responsible for the change in all things in the cosmos .
In lunar astrology , it is believed the elements take turns to further shape the destiny of people born under each sign . In 2024 , the dragon is influenced by wood - consequently ‘ wood dragons ’ are thought to be warm , wise , generous , and compassionate .
