The Xuanhua dragon represents one of the most distinctive variations of dragon imagery in Chinese art, particularly associated with the ceilings of tombs discovered in the Xuanhua region of Hebei Province. Dating primarily from the Liao (907-1125) and Jin (1115-1234) dynasties, these dragons feature elongated, serpentine bodies adorned with elaborate scales and striking color patterns. Now, 1 oz Scottsdale Mint Colorized Silver Xuanhua Dragon Bars are available online from JM Bullion.
Bar Highlights:
For the obverse of the 1 oz Colorized Silver Xuanhua Dragon Bar, you will find the image of the imposing Xuanhua dragon. This figure has thick fur and whiskers on its head, as well as pronounced antlers. The colorization on the field blends hues of pink with stark contrasts in white and blue for the fur.
In the reverse design of Scottsdale Mint Colorized Silver Xuanhua Dragon Bars, the mint features its Scottsdale Lion emblem. The official seal of the mint, this design shows a mighty male lion in front-facing relief with a thick mane and a large crown atop its head. The identifying hallmarks of the bar are found on this side.
Unlike the imperial dragons of later periods, Xuanhua dragons frequently display more varied postures and are depicted in dynamic scenes alongside other mythological creatures. Archaeological excavations in Xuanhua have revealed that these dragon motifs served not only decorative purposes but held significant spiritual meaning, believed to function as guardians for the deceased and symbols of their passage to the afterlife. The artistic technique employed in creating these dragons demonstrates remarkable craftsmanship.
These 1 oz Scottsdale Mint Colorized Silver Xuanhua Dragon Bars come with individual acrylic capsules. These bars are the fifth in the ongoing, limited-release Colorized Dragon Series from Scottsdale Mint. Though there is no mintage cap, the bars are only produced for a limited period of time before a new design is released.
