2020 $2 Figure 8 Dragon & Phoenix 2oz Silver Antiqued Coin

In traditional Chinese culture, the dragon is revered as a divine creature, and potent symbol of power, strength, wealth and good fortune. The phoenix is regarded as an immortal bird whose rare appearance is believed to foreshadow harmony. The number eight is considered extremely lucky as the Chinese word for ‘eight’ sounds similar to good fortune or to prosper. Shaped like a figure eight, the coin's reverse features a dragon and phoenix surrounded by stylised clouds.
