Buy Rectangular Dragon Silver Coins – Eastern and Western Mythology in an Innovative Format
The Rectangular Dragon silver series presents the world's most universally recognised mythological creature in a visually distinctive rectangular bar-coin hybrid format with 9 products at CelticGold. The rectangular shape – pioneered by the Perth Mint – provides far greater surface area than a standard round coin of the same weight, allowing the dragon to be depicted with exceptional detail across a landscape-format canvas.
The dragon is unique in mythology for having positive connotations in East Asian traditions (wisdom, imperial power, good fortune, rain) and largely negative ones in Western traditions (chaos, destruction, guardianship of treasure). This cultural duality gives dragon coins a globally understood appeal that no other mythological motif can match.
Note: rectangular coins require specialist capsules – standard round capsules will not fit. See Accessories.
FAQ: Are rectangular silver coins VAT-treated the same as round coins? Yes – legal tender status and fineness determine VAT eligibility, not shape. These coins follow the same margin scheme or standard VAT rules as equivalent round silver coins.
