The meaning of the commemorative coin:

This time the "Long Yao Jiuzhou" series collection has specially designed a "Kowloon coin" combination. Taking the Nine Dragon Wall of the Forbidden City as the prototype, it combines the traditional five colors of green, red, yellow, white and purple to highlight the Royal Nine-Five Supreme. Nine dragons fly on the coin surface, with auspicious patterns of the three worlds of heaven, earth and sea as background, and the yellow dragon In the center, he leads the dragons in all directions, gathers blessings and spreads blessings.

Each dragon has a different auspicious meaning, and the five colors of Kowloon show the peace of the Year of the Dragon with its exquisite oriental charm. This event fully demonstrated the integration of Chinese auspicious cultural elements and the world's exquisite casting technology, integrating expectations for a better life and auspicious blessings into commemorative coins. Commemorative coin designer Wang told anecdotes about the design of this cross-border commemorative coin, and the atmosphere was warm.
