2024 $50 FINE SILVER COIN
YEAR OF THE DRAGON

LIMITED TO ONE COIN PER CUSTOMER PER ADDRESS

Whenever minting technology evolves, the art will inevitably follow suit, and this 99.99% pure silver coin from the Royal Canadian Mint introduces a revolutionary approach to numismatic design.
According to Chinese astrology, 2024 is the year of the Wood Dragon, bringing with it the promise of growth, progress, creativity and good fortune. Framed by a wood pattern on this coin, the powerful Dragon is brought to life by Extraordinarily High Relief (EHR) that lifts the finely detailed relief to an incredible height of 4.7 mm. The Mint’s R&D team went one step further, elevating the extraordinary by providing a rear view – also engraved in Extraordinarily High Relief – of that same scene on the coin’s obverse, where the relief climbs to 3.85 mm to give the Dragon a more three-dimensional form within this two-sided design.
This is Extraordinarily High Relief (EHR) on both sides of the coin, a Mint first that is sure to be one of the highlights of 2024.

 A Mint first to welcome the Year of the Wood Dragon. Double Extraordinarily High Relief (EHR) is a new minting process led by the Mint’s R&D team from beginning to end, and executed to perfection. Never before has the Mint been able to strike such extreme relief on both sides of the coin, and as part of a two-sided design that flows from front to back, reverse to obverse.
 The obverse and reverse are two halves of one EHR design – the front (reverse) view features a peak relief height of 4.7 mm, while the rear view (obverse) risesup to 3.85 mm.
 Representing the Wood element, the laser-engraved wood grainpattern surrounds the Dragonon both sides of the coin.
 Crafted in 99.99% pure silver.
 Enclosed in a floating capsule with extra-wide sides that allow for unobstructed front-to-back viewing, and presented in a black clamshell with a red beauty box that passes on a blessing for “Good Fortune.”
 Mintage limitedto 5,388 coins worldwide.
