The new Canadian coin, titled Spirit Dragon, is made up of 99.99% pure gold and depicts Shenlong coiling and floating across the sky a dragon of Chinese mythology that "governs the elements upon which agriculture depends: wind, rain, clouds and tempests," the Royal Canadian Mint wrote on its website.
The Silver Maple Leaf coin is a 2024 release featuring a completely monochromatic look. The coin itself is valued at $250 but costs a whopping US$2,098.40 to purchase, which is fair considering it is, in fact, a kilogram of pure silver.
