Obverse

On the obverse of this silver bar, the Huoyan Dragon is shown winding through flames. Chinese stories describe it as a force to be respected, and in some areas, rituals were performed to keep it calm. There are even legends of the dragon protecting treasure hidden in mountain caves, using fire to guard its hoard.

Reverse

The reverse of the bar presents the Scottsdale Lion logo. This crowned lion with a flowing mane is the official emblem of the Scottsdale Mint and a signature part of its silver product designs.

History

The Huoyan Dragon, also known as the Fire Dragon, is tied to volcanic eruptions and droughts in ancient Chinese tales. It was said to have scales that glowed like hot coals and a fiery breath capable of setting forests ablaze. Its appearance was believed to signal dry spells, as the heat it carried was thought to drive away rainfall.
