Appearance of the 2025 Water Dragon Proof gold coin
A coin with an exceptionally elegant and detailed design. Its reverse features an image of a water dragon, depicted in a dynamic pose, as if moving among the waves. Its scales have been precisely carved, creating an impressive texture that glitters in the glow of gold. The dragon's eye catches the eye, radiating wisdom and power, while the flowing lines of the background symbolize water – the element with which it is inextricably linked. The obverse features the profile of His Majesty King Charles III, classically depicted on a smooth background, surrounded by inscriptions containing the monarch's name, the coin's denomination, and the year of issue. The coin impresses with its details, despite its small size. It has a delicate serrated edge, which adds to its refined character. The whole is enclosed in a beautiful case, which further emphasizes the symbol of Chinese tradition.
Historical overview
The gold coin featuring a water dragon has its roots in the centuries-old tradition of combining Chinese zodiac symbolism with numismatics, paying tribute to a rich cultural heritage. The dragon, one of the most powerful and revered creatures in Chinese mythology, symbolizes strength, good fortune, wisdom, and protection. In particular, the Water Dragon, which returns in the zodiac cycle every 60 years, is associated with harmony, flexibility, and balance.
The Royal Canadian Mint, known for creating coins that celebrate different cultures and traditions, used this symbolism to commemorate the Year of the Dragon. The introduction of a small 1/20 ounce pure gold coin made it widely available, attracting the attention of collectors around the world. It has become a unique investment item and a valuable symbol for those who wish to celebrate the Year of the Dragon or attract good luck in their lives.

To date, all coins from the Royal Canadian Mint bear the portrait of the reigning British monarch.
The shares of the Mint are held in trust for the Crown of Canada.
The Mint produces all Canadian circulation coins and designs and manufactures collector coins made of precious metals—gold, silver, palladium, and platinum bullion coins, medals, medallions, and tokens. It also offers gold and silver refining services.
