Niue Double Dragon 1oz silver (and 5 oz)

[west6]

This year is NOT lunar year of dragon, but I've seen dragons coming out one after the other.  Perth Mint continued the Dragon & Phoenix in 2018 (as of now, gold bullion only, silver not yet) and it also released the rectangular bar coin!  UK Royal Bullion has the double dragon 1 oz coin, its style combination is interesting (one oriental, and another western) but the premium is a bit high.  Two weeks ago I found out NZ Mint produced its version of "double dragon" 1oz coin; it is oriental style dragons facing each other.    Lower premium than RM double dragon.  I'm not quite sure about its mintage, if it's similar to other NZ - Niue silver bullion (roaring lion, tree of life), that would be 50,000.  I haven't decided whether to order yet, and before typing this post did another Google search -- turning out its 5oz version is on US website too (only US & Canada shipping), I would think 5oz is quite a powerful dragon!

I think I prefer the look of the RM one but you're right it does have a high premium on it. However, I plan to order a batch of these Niue ones next month to see what they are like.

I would like to know how long the dies last for with the honeycomb affect!

Picked up a couple of these today and for the money its a way better coin than I expected.

I have a RM two dragons as well and there is not a lot in it as to which I like better.

Its my favorite "cheap" coin

Mine arrived today, they are really nice coins. The background effect is really sharp.

Quite like the look of them, reasonable price. Might have to pick some up!
