Design:

Inspired by traditional Chinese folk art, the reverse design by Canadian artist Jai Paek celebrates the Year of the Wood Dragon (2024) through its whimsical depiction of a Dragon (“龍”). The courageous and clever Dragon bears a playful expression as it snakes across the coin, with its head facing West and its tail facing East. The lucky number seven (7), which is associated with harmony, is represented by the Dragon’s seven heart-shaped scales that symbolize good luck and prosperity. The reverse also includes the word “CANADA”, the year “2024” and a face value of “15 DOLLARS”. The obverse features the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt with a repeating scallop pattern. The obverse also bears a special marking that includes four pearls symbolizing the four effigies that have graced Canadian coins and the double date of her reign.

Packaging:

Each coin comes packaged in a red outer beauty box, evoking the Chinese New Year custom of gifting “lucky money” in a red envelope.
