The two-tone contrast is the point: cool silver ground, warm gold relief, a piece made to be turned in the hand and read detail by detail rather than worn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Year of the Dragon motif\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the zodiac cycle the dragon governs power, fortune and protection, and it is the only mythical creature among the twelve animals. The coin's obverse is given over entirely to the serpentine dragon in flight, scales and mane individually defined in the gold plating; the reverse carries the lunar-zodiac framing that identifies the dragon year. It is struck as a keepsake coin, unmounted, intended for the collector's tray or cabinet rather than a setting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMaterials and finish\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesign: Chinese Lunar Zodiac — Year of the Dragon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: commemorative collector coin, unmounted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: silver with 24K gold plating on the dragon relief\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: two-tone, polished silver field against gold-plated raised motif\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCurated by Almaz Atelier, the Vienna studio of Almaz Jewelry, at Stephansplatz 12\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAlmaz Atelier curates collectibles and keepsakes of this kind alongside its bespoke work in Vienna.
