Born on the rivers of China, dragon boat racing is at the heart of a 2,000-year-old cultural tradition that is steeped in folklore and full of pageantry. Beautifully engraved in ultra-high relief, the selectively coloured dragon on your coin is a timeless and strongly symbolic representation of the Dragon Boat Festival. Look closely at its positioning among the waves—its curved neck mimics the shape of the ornate boats that compete in the annual races!
