The Xuanhua dragon stands out as one of the most unique dragon designs found in Chinese art, particularly connected to ancient tomb ceilings in the Xuanhua region of Hebei Province. These dragons trace their origins to the Liao (907–1125) and Jin (1115–1234) dynasties, showcasing long, snake-like bodies covered in detailed scales and vivid color combinations.

On the obverse of the 1 oz Colorized Silver Xuanhua Dragon Bar, you’ll see the image of the powerful Xuanhua dragon. This creature is shown with thick fur, long whiskers, and prominent antlers on its head. The colorization adds depth with soft pinks blending into bold white and blue accents in the dragon’s fur.

The reverse of the bar displays the official seal of Scottsdale Mint—the Scottsdale Lion emblem. This design presents a strong male lion with a detailed mane and a crown, shown in a forward-facing view. This side also includes all the essential inscriptions that identify the bar.

Xuanhua dragons differ from the more formal imperial dragons of later Chinese periods. They are often shown in livelier poses and in scenes with other mythical figures. Findings from tomb sites in Xuanhua suggest these dragons served more than just decorative roles—they were seen as spiritual protectors and representations of the soul’s journey after death. The craftsmanship in these artistic designs speaks to the high skill of the era.

Each 1 oz Scottsdale Mint Colorized Silver Xuanhua Dragon Bar comes in an individual acrylic capsule for protection. These bars mark the fifth release in Scottsdale Mint’s Colorized Dragon Series, which is issued as a limited-time production without a fixed mintage limit.
