DID YOU KNOW?

  • Years of the Dragon: According to the Chinese Zodiac, you’re a Dragon if you were born in 1928, 1940, 1952, 1964, 1976, 1988, 2000, 2012 or 2024. Already the most auspicious animal sign, Dragons can further boost their luck by sticking with the numbers 1, 6 and 7, or their lucky colours of gold, white and grey.
  • Dragons are natural leaders and go-getters. Courageous and intelligent, Dragons are not afraid of challenges and are willing to take risks. The Dragon itself has long been a revered symbol of Chinese culture; it represents power, excellence and good luck.
  • Wood dragons are quiet, creative thinkers. In Chinese astrology, every year in the 12-year cycle is ruled by a different Zodiac sign and each creature is associated with one of the five elements, meaning the Wood Dragon is only celebrated once every 60 years. While Dragons are known to be fierce, driven and loyal, the Wood element in 2024 tempers their fiery, energetic temperament. Wood Dragons are calmer and more introverted, creative and inquisitive—they’ll dive into any problem, and they usually come up with an innovative idea or solution.

The reverse design by Canadian artist Aries Cheung celebrates the Year of the Dragon (2024) through its playful depiction of the beloved Chinese Zodiac animal. Gracefully snaking across the sky, the Dragon extends its claws and reaches for two auspicious motifs: a branch covered in plum blossoms, the Chinese New Year flower symbolizing resilience, vitality and courage; and a celebratory lantern, which is decorated with the Chinese character “龍” (“Dragon”). The reverse also includes the word “CANADA”, the year “2024” and a face value of “8 DOLLARS”. The obverse features the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt. 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.

 

Aries Cheung, Artist

”This joyful and energetic Dragon, together with the spring-heralding plum blossom and the celebratory lantern, sends the blessing of optimism, health and happiness, and promises us prosperity and strength for the new year.”

Aries Cheung, Artist
