Dragon & Tiger - The Balance

The release of this new 2021 Tuvalu Dragon & Tiger 2oz Antiqued Silver coin is a high-water mark for dragon-themed bullion offerings. The striking design and the symbolism it represents come together to display "the Balance." As noted by the mint,

"Revered in Chinese traditional culture, the dragon and tiger are often portrayed together as expressions of yin and yang, the ancient belief that all things in the universe consist of two opposing yet complementary forces. Another fascinating symbol from Eastern philosophy, the Bagua incorporates eight Taoist trigrams representing the yin and yang present in all things, and a taijitu, the famous black and white symbol denoting the interdependence of yin and yang energy."

Harmony Achieved

As a legal tender offering by Tuvalu, the obverse displays the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Inscriptions encircling the rim include, "QUEEN ELIZABETH II. 2oz 9999 SILVER. 2021. TUVALU . 2 DOLLARS." The antique finish was individually applied, reflecting the personal attention given to each individual Gold & Silver Coin. This process can produce minor variations in their appearance, which is highly appreciated by collectors.

The reverse of this 2021 Tuvalu Dragon & Tiger Antiqued 2 oz Silver coin features the incredibly detailed images of a dragon and tiger. They are depicted as endlessly encircling a Bagua suspended in the center. The fierceness of their opposing natures is vividly displayed in this active scene. Also noted by the mint,

"Regarded as a divine mythical creature, the serpent-like Chinese dragon embodies power, wealth, and good fortune. With a pattern on its forehead resembling the Chinese character for 'king', the tiger is another highly revered animal that represents bravery, strength, and ambition. Together, they are said to symbolize the harmony achieved through the balance of opposing forces."

This extremely limited mintage, highly collectible premium offering by Tuvalu, in association with The Perth Mint, strikes a remarkable balance between design excellence and ancient Chinese symbolism. Once you have your purchase in hand, you are likely often to find yourself studying every detail of this amazing scene!
