2022 Fiji Silver & Gold Welsh Dragon 4-pc Proof Set NGC PF70UC First Day of Issue w/Black Core
Medieval Folklore Collides With Modern Technology To Help Create These Spectacular Coins
Dragons and other mythical beasts are among the world’s most popular coin themes. HBO’s popular Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon series have helped fuel recent interest in these exotic creatures, and releases from programs such as The Royal Mint’s Queens Beasts or the China Mint’s vast array of Dragon coinage have cemented dragon lore into numismatic history. And now, a new groundbreaking “Dragons of the World” series has burst on the scene with a wide breadth of designs, cultural impact, and first-ever elements—the kind that “breath fire” into an already hot collector market!
High Relief Detail Combines With “Cupped” Convex/Concave Shape
And here, only while supplies last, we have a four-piece set that consists of coins from the very first release in the series struck in one ounce of 99.9% pure gold and one kilo, two ounces, and five ounces of 99.9% fine silver with legal-tender values of $5, $15, $2, and $5 respectively. These are truly amazing coins that features the famous Welsh Red Dragon! The incredible dragon design wraps around the center of each coin’s surface, its gigantic bat-like wings extending nearly to the coin’s edge in a way that the fierce beast seems poised to release itself from the coin! The beast’s family pedigree is inscribed around the rim in dramatic text that reads, “WELSH RED DRAGON” and “DRAGONS OF THE WORLD.” In addition to the fearsome design of a tightly coiled Western dragon, another truly unique aspect of this piece is its stunning Ultra High Relief (UHR) detail combined with a technologically advanced minting technique which produced a “cupped” shape that’s deeply convex on one side and concave on the other.
Flawless Dragon Coins From Among The First Issued
Each coin available here one here has been graded by the Numismatic Guaranty Company (NGC) in perfect Proof-70 Ultra Cameo (PF70UC) condition, a distinction that means these perfectly-graded proofs have ZERO imperfections—showing all features and fields exactly as the engraver and mint intended. In addition, NGC has certified that these proofs are First Day of Issue (FDI) coins, meaning they were received by NGC or an NGC-approved depository by the release date or on the business day within 24 hours of the official release date. Each will come sonically sealed in an acrylic holder and encapsulated with a special black display core and a “Dragons of the World” label. These coins will also come beautifully housed in a deluxe presentation case with an individually numbered Certificate of Authenticity, a storycard on the Welsh Red Dragon, and a dragon booklet.
A Cultural Cross-Section Of Five Dragons From All Corners Of The Globe!
These coins were released on behalf of Fiji, an island nation in the South Pacific that’s made up of more than 300 islands. This series offers a look at depictions of dragons—and their folklore—from four different continents and five different countries. The first of these is the Welsh Red Dragon. Other releases will include dragons from Egypt, China, India, and the Mayan/Aztec empires of Central America. A final coin showcasing each beast will complete the series.
Hurry: Low Limited Mintages Mean These Coins Won’t Be Around For Long!
These coins were struck with extremely limited mintages: Just 750 two-ounce silver coins, 500 five-ounce silver coins, 200 kilo silver coins, and only 150 one-ounce gold coins. Those painfully small mintages mean that these dragons will not be around for long. So don’t miss out; take advantage of this opportunity now while you still have the chance!
