Lunar year of the Dragon bullion 2024 | 1oz silver | Rwanda
The Rwanda African Wildlife series has been incredibly popular, with intricate designs and a history of premium appreciation. For the first time in 2017, the Rwanda Lunar Ounce was launched with the year of the Rooster. Following the basic design that first introduced the series, the featured image is presented in the style of a cut-glass mosaic. This beautifully sets the Rwanda Lunar Ounce series apart from the somewhat crowded Lunar bullion market.
Starting all the way back in 2017 with the Year of the Rooster, this 2024 Year of the Dragon 1oz silver bullion coin is the 8th release in the Rwanda Lunar Ounce series that features the Chinese Lunar animals in a mosaic art style and the 5th animal in the Chinese zodiac.
In Chinese culture, the dragon represents good luck, strength, health and the element Yang. The dragon is unique because it is the only mythical creature of all the animals in the Chinese zodiac.
Those born under the sign of the Chinese Lunar Dragon in 2024, 2012, 2000, 1988, 1976 and every 12th preceding year, are said to be ambitious, successful, and charismatic.
The reverse features the depiction of a dragon in a mosaic style. The inscription “YEAR OF THE DRAGON” appears in the middle the coin with the Chinese character for dragon “龍” is prominently displayed at the top. The coins weight, fineness and 2024 year-date also appears on the reverse.
