These silver coins feature colored designs that honor the 4 dragons who are said to have become the 4 great rivers in China. The story goes something like this: A severe drought swept across China, affecting the people living there. The region was completely devoid of any water bodies except the Eastern Sea at the time. Seeing this, four dragons (the Long Dragon, the Yellow Dragon, the Black Dragon, and the Pearl Dragon) approached the Jade Emperor for help. However, when their distress and appeals were met with indifference, they decided to take matters into their hands. They scooped water from the sea and sprayed it onto the land, making it rain -- knowing full-well that the Emperor would be displeased with their disobedience. The Emperor banished the four dragons under the mounts. However, not regretting their decision in the least, the dragons decided to turn themselves into rivers to continue helping the people, and these are the four great rivers in China today -- the Huanghe (Yellow Dragon), Heilongjiang (Black Dragon), the Changjiang (Long Dragon), and the Zhujiang (Pearl Dragon).
