It’s no secret that the dragon is the most desired animal in the lunar calendar. It brings out some of the most intriguing and fascinating coin designs from just about every mint around the globe.

One of the first 2024 Dragons released has certainly raised the bar. The 2024 Vanuatu Lunar Year of the Dragon proof is absolutely stunning. Struck by one of the largest and most prestigious mints in the world, MDM Deutsche Munze. MDM is known for their extravagant embellishments and 3D ultra-high relief designs, which seem like works of art.

The 2024 Vanuatu Lunar Dragon 1 oz silver proof features the Vanuatu coat of arms centered on the obverse. The 12 lunar animals encircle the outer edge with a frosted finish. The reverse features a dragon in high relief, gilded in gold. Its serpentine body elegantly twists while clutching the fiery pearl of wisdom, which is a genuine freshwater pearl.

Masterfully struck with razor-sharp precision in 1 troy ounce .999-fine silver, the freshwater pearl adds immense eye appeal. This proof specimen arrives in a custom capsule housed in a red lunar-themed display case, along with a certificate of authenticity.
