The Forbidden Dragon 2023 | CFA5000 Chad | 1oz Fine Silver Coin

A majestic Chinese Dragon, rendered in stunning 3D detail, rises from the coin’s surface. Intricate dragon motifs and a mandala pattern, inspired by the ornate caisson ceilings of the Forbidden City, add a rich layer of cultural significance. This powerful imagery connects the coin to the heart of Chinese imperial history and artistry, evoking the grandeur and intricate craftsmanship of the Forbidden City’s architecture.

UPP Enterprises crafts this colossal 60mm coin, twice the size of a standard 1 oz collectible, employing innovative “Bi-Metal Plus” technology. This technique seamlessly bonds 4.5 oz of copper with 1 oz of .999 fine silver, creating a substantial and impressive piece. Struck in super ultra-high relief, the coin showcases the dragon’s form with exceptional depth, while a carefully applied antique silver finish enhances its tactile and visual appeal, making this a true testament to modern minting capabilities.
