Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff

Australian coin Pillar of the Community Australia 1244 Posts	Posted 08/28/2011 8:36 pm Cool coins, I have seen dragon coins before, but never with a phoenix. 5-clawed dragon was assigned to represent the Emperor while the 4-clawed and 3-clawed dragons were assigned to the commoners Many pictures of oriental dragons show a flaming pearl under their chin. The pearl is associated with wealth, good luck, and prosperity. Report this Post to the Staff

Another good rule of thumb is, "if it's got anything pictorial on it, it almost certainly isn't an actual cash coin". These are all good luck charms. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff

coinsnpaper Valued Member Canada 480 Posts	Posted 09/05/2011 12:56 am The Dragon-Phoenix could stand for a wedding, or aat the start of a reign, when all the forces are proper. The design was used for the Pu-Yi wedding issues of 1926, and on many of the commemoritive 1st year of reign charms. The illustrations are all charms- I would guess that the bottom ones are from the mid 90's, when the "flying saucer " fakes were common- they are much thicker in the mioddler than at the outer rim. The top dragon/phoenix could be older. Report this Post to the Staff
