Buy Rectangular Dragon Gold Coins – The Dragon in an Innovative Format
The Rectangular Dragon gold series presents the world's most universally recognised mythological creature in a visually distinctive rectangular bar-coin hybrid format. With 7 products at CelticGold, these legal tender gold coins combine the larger canvas of a bar format with the authentication credentials of a state-minted coin.
The rectangular format – pioneered by the Perth Mint – allows more surface area for detailed relief designs than a traditional round coin. The dragon motif benefits uniquely from this: in East Asian tradition a wise, auspicious imperial guardian; in Western tradition a formidable adversary. This dual cultural resonance gives dragon coins a globally understood appeal.
Note: rectangular coins require specialist capsules – standard round capsules will not fit. See Accessories for compatible options.
FAQ: Are rectangular gold coins VAT-exempt? Yes – the EU VAT Directive for investment gold specifies fineness and legal tender status, not shape. Rectangular coins meeting the 900/1,000 fineness threshold with legal tender status are fully exempt.
