Lord of clouds and waters in a kilogram of copper

In Chinese culture the dragon is not a monster but a benevolent guardian – lord of rain, rivers and clouds, and a symbol of imperial power, strength and good fortune. The Chinese Dragon coin was issued in 2024, the Chinese Year of the Dragon.

Coin design

On the reverse the head of a Chinese dragon emerges from the coin, staring straight at the viewer – jaws open and full of fangs, with long whiskers, horns and a mane of scales and flames. Every scale and spike has a clear, sculpted texture, and THE CHINESE DRAGON · 1KG .999 CU runs along the rim.

The obverse shows the coat of arms of the Republic of Benin – a shield with leopards, horns of plenty and the motto FRATERNITÉ JUSTICE TRAVAIL – with RÉPUBLIQUE DU BÉNIN, the year 2024 and the face value 1500 FRANCS CFA. The reverse carries the signature P. DeGreef, and the antique finish brings out the warm tone and depth of the copper.

The Édition Cuivre collection

The Édition Cuivre series by P. DeGreef consists of one-kilogram pure copper coins issued every year: Bald Eagle (2022), Giant Panda (2023), Chinese Dragon (2024), Rattle Snake (2025) and Mustang (2026). Each has a mintage equal to its year of issue.

Packaging

The coin comes in an elegant Édition Cuivre P. DeGreef box with a certificate of authenticity.
