Obverse
On the obverse of the coin, youll see a dragon design inspired by the original 1904 coin. The Kiangnan dragon is shown with features that set it apart from imperial dragons, including fewer claws and a more water-like appearance. These traits reflect its connection to rivers and rainfall, both critical to life in the region.
Reverse
The reverse of the 2019 Kiangnan Dragon Gold Coin includes Chinese characters originally used on the 1904 silver dollar. While the design mirrors the past, the rim features modern laser-etched markings noting the year of issue, weight, and purity of the restrike.
History
The Kiangnan dragon comes from southern Chinas Jiangnan region, an area filled with rivers and farmland. This dragon is different from the imperial dragon of the north. Instead of symbolizing royal power, the Kiangnan dragon was thought to protect local communities by managing rainfall and water levelsboth crucial in the region’s daily life.
