DRAGONS in numismatics from East to West

The Dragon has been a popular subject in numismatics since nearly the time of the first coin struck.

The ancient belief in Dragons is rooted in human experiences and visions of this world now obscured by the ever-closing fog of history. What we do know is that the Dragon has persisted in power through human imagination for millenia and has come to life again and again in Jade, Gold, Pewter, Silver, Wood, Stone... We discover the Dragon on coins, banknotes and other forms of exchange and commemoration with great frequency. The enduring power of the Dragon thus lives on with vitality amongst our collections here at Black Mountain Coins. Whether you are intrigued by visions of the Orient, the West, the iconic images of St George and the Dragon or St Micheal and the Dragon, or if you seek the visual embodiment of your Chinese astrological kinship, you will find examples here of the Dragons of our imagination already in flight.
