Unlike the dragons that populate stories of medieval Europe, the Chinese or Eastern Dragon symbolizes great power, good luck, and strength. And, where Europe’s lizard-like dragon is known for breathing fire, kidnapping maidens, and hoarding gold; China’s Dragon has the ability to control typhoons, water, rainfall, and floods. So revered are dragons in Eastern culture is the fact that it’s common knowledge that China’s emperors are descended from dragons. With that in mind, it’s no wonder that the dragon is the most popular sign in the Chinese zodiac. It’s also why this limited-edition shaped Dragon Coin will be a popular addition to your collection!
