2024 Year of the Dragon Silver Round $240 This 2024 Year of the Dragon Silver Round is a stunning numismatic piece celebrating the most powerful and auspicious sign in the Chinese Zodiac. Struck in .999 fine silver, the obverse features a highly detailed, coiled imperial dragon with intricate scale work, encircling the traditional Chinese character for dragon. The frosted finish of the mythical creature provides a brilliant contrast against the mirror-like, proof-like background. Along the rim, the inscriptions YEAR of the DRAGON and the year 2024 are clearly displayed. As a symbol of luck, strength, and health, this round is a favored choice for both investors and collectors looking to commemorate the lunar new year. This specific item is presented in its original protective sleeve, ensuring the preservation of its pristine condition and sharp relief details.

There is evidence of minor milk spotting or surface residue on the mirrored field near the dragon's tail and some light toning or spotting along the left rim near the word YEAR.
