Beautiful 2012 Lunar Dragon coin!
Very scarce and difficult to find.
This coin is Brand new - comes with the original capsule.
The Dragon (simplified Chinese: 龙; traditional Chinese: 龍) is one of the 12-year cycle of animals which appear in the Chinese zodiac related to the Chinese calendar. The Year of the Dragon is associated with the Earthly Branch symbol 辰, pronounced chen. It has been proposed by one academic researcher that the Earthly Branch character may have been associated with scorpions; it may have symbolized the star Antares. In the Buddhist calendar used in Thailand, Cambodia, Laos and Sri Lanka, the Dragon is replaced by the Nāga. In the Gurung zodiac, the Dragon is replaced by the eagle.
