1 oz Chinese trade dollar, powerful Chinese dragon.

I have a few silver coins in my personal collection, mostly colored and with a wildlife theme. But from time to time I like to buy coins inspired by mythological animals or icons of some nations.

This coin that I call the powerful Chinese dragon is 1 Troy oz of .999 pure silver in which a dragon appears surrounding the world with its immensity and where the image of China is very visible, curiously without Taiwan.

I like this coin because it somewhat symbolizes the history that is being sold to us today and the fear of the almighty Chinese power as the next world power. Also the history itself that represents the commercial dollar that would be, saving all distances, a kind of stablecoin of today. That if backed by something more than trust, silver.

But above all it is a precious silver coin that I love to have in my collection and that makes me enjoy contemplating that magnificent carved dragon.
