Royal Canadian Mint - Designed by Canadian artist Simon Ng, your coin offers an artistic tribute to Dragon Boat Festival through the skilful fusion of ancient symbolism, traditional art elements and modern minting techniques. The lower portion of the coin is dominated by foam-tipped waves—an auspicious pattern that also adds a sense of motion to the design. In fact, curved lines are present throughout this water-themed design, including the dragon's mane that evokes the sensation of wind and movement. Engraved in ultra-high relief for added depth and dimension, the serpentine spirit emerges from the water in a way that mimics the shape of a dragon boat, with its neck curved like a boat's gunwale. The dragon's features are resplendent in colourful hues of red, gold, green and blue, culminating in the blue pearl held tight in its jaw as a symbol of wisdom, and the active yang aspect of qi—the life force that surrounds us.

I keep going on and on and on about the packaging in hopes that someone at RCM reads these posts. How can you issue this outstanding coin in a maroon clamshell with a black sleeve? Please look at all the world mints and the presentation packaging of all their coins. Is anyone at RCM listening?
