In 2012 to celebrate the Lunar Year of the Dragon, the New Zealand Mint released a very special Limited Issue Lunar Dragon $2 Two Dollar Silver Coin struck in solid fine .999 Silver weighing one-half ounce of pure Silver.

The reverse depicts the Lunar Chinese Dragon holding a Pearl while the obverse is the stunning portrait of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Ian Rank Broadley.
In Chinese mythology, the Dragon is often shown carrying a pearl to represent its great wisdom, hence the term Pearls of Wisdom.
