About the Mythical Creatures Series

Launched in 2024 with the inaugural Chinese Dragon coin, the Mythical Creatures series is China's second major bullion silver programme alongside the long-running Chinese Panda. While the Panda changes its reverse design each year and focuses on a single animal motif, the Mythical Creatures series draws on the rich tradition of Chinese mythology — the Dragon, Phoenix, Qilin and other legendary beasts — each given a dedicated annual release. The 2026 edition is the second Dragon entry in the series and the eighth issue overall. Although the global mintage of 2,000,000 pieces is large by Western bullion standards, Asian collector demand for Dragon-themed silver is exceptionally strong, and secondary-market premiums for prior years support long-term liquidity.
