The Design
The obverse features the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II designed by Susana Blunt. Surrounding the portrait are the inscriptions “ELIZABETH II,” the denomination “5 DOLLARS,” and the year “2017.” Fine radial lines fill the background, serving as an added anti-counterfeiting security element.
On the reverse, a majestic dragon appears in a figure-eight arrangement, an especially auspicious number in Chinese culture, grasping a pearl that symbolizes wisdom. The dramatic high-relief strike extends the dragon design beyond the coin’s rim.
Additional inscriptions identify the coin’s issuing country, weight, metal content, and purity in English and French, reading: “9999 FINE SILVER 1 OZ ARGENT PUR 9999.”
