Engraved in ultra high relief, a Chinese dragon rises up from the flat surface of the coin, where the serpentine neck alludes to the typical shape of a boat. An application of colour adds dazzling reds, oranges and blues to this revered figure of Chinese mythology, who holds a green pearl of wisdom that symbolizes the active \u003cem\u003eyang \u003c\/em\u003easpect of \u003cem\u003eqi\u003c\/em\u003e, the life force that surrounds us. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"West Edmonton Coin \u0026 Stamp","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51176377909380,"sku":"166628","price":249.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0967\/3447\/8468\/files\/2018_25_Fine_Silver_Coin_-Dragon_Boat_Rev__92450.1524425188.1280.1280.jpg?v=1759541943","url":"https:\/\/www.westedmontoncoinandstamp.com\/products\/2018-25-fine-silver-coin-dragon-boat","provider":"West Edmonton Coin \u0026 Stamp","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
