My 2021 Coins #6: Dragons

in LeoFinance3 years ago

What would be a year without a dragon coin?

Dragons are creatures of mythology and regarded in distinct ways in varying cultures.

In Eastern mythology specifically the Chinese, dragons are symbols of good luck and good fortune. To determine the dragon's power and knowledge, all you had to do is find out the number of fingers on their claws. The greatest of all dragons have five claws!


In Western culture the dragons are shown with wings and they breathe fire. The tip of their tail is usually a weapon.

Here are four government issued bullion coins in 2021 with dragon designs.

Thanks for showing & sharing the Dragon Silver Money, SILVER SAVER - @silversaver888. I wish I had picked up a few of the Australian Perth Mint Dragon Bars, when I had the chance, a while back.

Yeah, you should have!'
They are high in the secondary market.
You're better of having the current one.

Take care! I buy only when they first come out, and only if they are reasonable, @cve3.

Cool coins! I have the round aussie one :)

Great! Which one do you prefer, round or the rectangle.
Both are coins.
The first time that the rectangular coin was introduce, I rebelled!
How can Australia destroy the meaning of a coin?
And then they came up with triangular coins!!!
I bought it just the same. Now four years after, the coin is growing on me!
Take care, @alexvan!

These Dragon are also powerful.....minted out of pure precious Silver!🤗I learned something new today @silversaver888!😀 I didn't know that the dragon's power and knowledge was determined by the number of claws!

Yeah! And guess what, if you count the claws of the Australian Myths and Legend coin--- they have five, @silvertop!

Top of the Dragon's @silversaver888 !!🤗

You are the "mother of dragons"

“I am not your little princess.”

"Dracarys!"

which Daenerys taught the dragons means "scorch these em-effers."

I see that you have some great and not so great dragons (based on toe count)! Very nice sis! Thanks for sharing!🌸💕😘🤗

I counted 5 claws in the Australian one, hehehe!
Hugs and kisses sis 😘🌸💕

🤗😘❣️🌸

Dragons are undoubtedly one of the most favorite themes on coinage. I am amazed at the large variety of styles and designs of this powerful mythological beast. When I think dragons I'm always reminded of @slacker-stacker and Silver (Baggens) Dragons who are active on IG.

A.W.L. Sis , 🤗 🌺 💖

I am sure there are a lot more of these dragon coins.
I only purchase what is available!
I seldom have time for IG anymore.
With the many things going with my personal life (as always) I really have time for only one.
I attempted to do YouTube and IG... it's just difficult!

Hugs and kisses, sis🤗🌺💖


La moneda representa uno de los activos de un país, más allá de su valor nominal, su valor simbólico delega en ella el respaldo a sus ciudadanos. La iconografía de esta moneda es genial, muy artística y condensa uno de lo símbolos más sagrados de occidente, porque el dragón es un guardián, su sabiduría guarda la fuerza para proteger ... siento una fascinación por los dragones.
Gracia por compartir esta interesante reseña histórica.@silversaver888

The currency represents one of the assets of a country, beyond its nominal value, its symbolic value delegates to it the support to its citizens. The iconography of this coin is great, very artistic and condenses one of the most sacred symbols of the West, because the dragon is a guardian, its wisdom keeps the strength to protect ... I have a fascination with dragons. Grace for sharing this interesting historical review.
Thanks, @sandracabrera. I buy silver and gold as a means to save money.


Interesante... son activos físicos; otros optan por las ciptomonedas...en billeteras virtuales, otros dinero plástico...@silversaver888

Yo también ahorro, tengo un cochinito debajo de la cama, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja
