$8 Sterling Silver Coin - Maple of Wisdom (2010)

The dragon is one of the most beloved and significant symbols in Chinese culture. This celestial, supernatural power is associated with countless legends. It symbolizes success, good fortune and wisdom, its greatest gift of all.

The magical dragon is always associated with the emperor, the ruling classor supreme power. It can become invisible and change its size and colour at will. The dragon also rulesthe seas and guards a great treasure hidden at its depths—the pearl.

In Chinese culture, the pearl symbolizes perfection, the highest form of wisdom. As such, it must reside with the dragon who, like the emperor, reveals great "pearlsof wisdom" as it bestows abundance and prosperity upon Canada’s newest generation of immigrants.

Highlights:The reverse design depicts a dragon clutching a symbolic "hologram" with a shimmering maple leaf; a red SWAROVSKI^® ELEMENT embedded inthe centre of the coin symbolizes joy and good fortune. The dragon also represents good fortune as wellas success, prosperity and wisdom.
