- Designed by Simon Ng, your coin is a colourful, dynamic fusion of traditional symbolism and contemporary minting techniques. An auspicious patternof stylized, foam-tipped waves fills much of the field, where the engraved lines convey movement in the water. Engraved in ultra-high relief, a Chinese dragon rises up from the flat surface of the coin, where the serpentine neck alludes to the typical shape of a boat. An application of colour adds dazzlingreds, oranges and blues to this revered figure of Chinese mythology, who holds a green pearl of wisdom that symbolizes the active yang aspect of qi, the life forcethat surrounds us.The reverse includes the engraved year “2018”, the word “CANADA” and the face value “25 DOLLARS”.
