"The Chinese dragon is a formidable creature that symbolises power, strength and fortune. In Imperial China, the Chinese dragon was exclusively used by the Emperor in his official robes, stamps and within his inner palace. As such, the dragon has long been associated not only with its auspicious connotations, but also a sense of superiority and excellence.

As the most powerful of the cat species and a natural leader with vigor and confidence, the tiger is also held in high regard by the Chinese. This pairing of the dragon and tiger thus represents an indomitable duo of positive energy and power.

This divine duo intertwine and meet on a figure eight, showcasing fine details of the scales and feathers on their bodies fully."

All Things Positive and Powerful

As a legal tender bullion offering by Tokelau, the obverse displays the official Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Queen Elizabeth II in the center of the figure-8 shaped coin. The background reveals a yin-yang outline that runs the full length of the coin. Both the top and bottom of the figure-8 have octagon holes that complete the figure-8 design. Inscriptions include "2022 . ELIZABETH II . TOKELAU . 15 DOLLARS." The entire obverse field is beautifully antiqued.

The reverse of this 2022 Tokelau Figure-8 Dragon & Tiger Antiqued 3oz Silver HR coin shows the duo meeting on a figure eight, their bodies lunging at one another and meeting at the intersection of the piece. The number 8 is the most ‘lucky’ number in Chinese culture, and it also symbolizes balance and wholeness in Taoism. To emphasize this, the octagon Ba Gua symbol used in Taoist practice is tastefully included within this piece as holes of the figure 8, complemented with deep 3D caisson details and the body of the dragon and tiger circling around them. On the obverse, the yin and yang sign curves beautifully down the length of the collectible, a reflection of the perfect pairing of the two creatures.
