5$ Dragon

The design features a colorful depiction of a dragon at night. The majestic creature is enthroned on a Gothic building with its wings spread out. Flames emerge from the dragon's glowing jaw. The reverse shows the Ian Rank-Broadley portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, supplemented with the years of her reign, as well as the weight, fineness, denomination and year of issue.

Hardly any other mythical creature has captured the human imagination as much as the dragon, which is traditionally depicted as a fire-breathing, lizard-like, flying monster with a great fondness for gold. The true origin of dragon folklore, as described in the Old English epic "Beowulf", for example, remains a mystery to this day. It is assumed that the idea of the existence of dragons may have originated from the discovery of large dinosaur bones. The dragon myth still enjoys great popularity today, with dragons frequently appearing in modern fantasy stories including books, films and games. The 5 oz Dragon antique finish coin is delivered in the original box including a numbered certificate of authenticity.
