Chinese culture has influenced the design of many precious metal coin programs from global mints and refineries in recent years, but nothing is quite like the newest offering from the Royal Canadian Mint. The Tiger and Dragon are central figures in Chinese culture, and play an important role in the concept of Yin and Yang. Silver.com now offers the 2016 $8 Silver Canadian Tiger and Dragon/Yin and Yang Coin for purchase online.

  • Includes a unique center-cut, square hole in the coin’s design.

The Tiger and Dragon have been locked in a battle for dominance since the beginning of time. Powerful in their own rights, the Tiger and Dragon represent equal yet opposing forces in the world, making them the perfect representation of yin and yang.

In Chinese tradition, the tiger represents the qualities of courage and patience. On the other hand, the dragon is a noble creature of good fortune that is strong, adventurous, and outgoing. Both are captured brilliantly in this design from Charles Vinh and the Royal Canadian Mint.

Each coin features a few unique features. In addition to the Tiger and Dragon images, there is a yin and yang symbol above a center-cut hole in the coin that is square in shape. The coin was given a commemorative face value of $8 because 8 is a lucky number for the year 2016.

On the obverse face of the coin is an image of Queen Elizabeth II above the central hole, with “Elizabeth II” engraved above her head and the iconic phrase “D.G. Regina” engraved below the design.

The reverse side of the 2016 $8 Silver Canadian Tiger and Dragon Yin and Yang coin features the image of a white tiger on the left-hand side, contrasted by the Green Dragon on the right-hand side. Above the hole, the yin and yang symbol. Below, the face value of the coin, nation of issue, and year of issue.

Royal Canadian Mint is the sovereign mint of Canada. Originally founded in 1908 in Ottawa, today it features another facility in Winnipeg that was completed in the 1980s to expand mint capacity. We are proud to carry a number of Royal Canadian Mint Silver Coins.

Is my information secure?

We take data security very seriously. When you place an order with silver.com, your information is transmitted with the utmost SSL (secure socket layers) 256-bit protection. We also never have access to your credit/debit card details, as they are securely communicated directly to the payment processor (Authorize.net) and never retained by Silver.com. For this reason, we also don't process credit/debit card orders over the phone, as it is the least secure way to process those transactions.

In addition, all VISA and MasterCard orders undergo an additional step of user authentication - the respective Verified by VISA or MasterCard SecureCode programs. Upon completing checkout with a VISA or MasterCard credit/debit card, you may be promoted for additional details to confirm your identity and protect our customers against credit card fraud.

Please note, the Silver.com website accepts orders 24/7/365, so you can always lock in live product prices and make purchases outside of business hours.

Do you charge sales tax?

We are required to collect sales tax in certain states. You can review your states sales tax policy here: https://www.silver.com/taxes. You should always consult with a tax adviser for specific advice in your area.

Where does your spot price come from?

We use a live, up-to-the-second spot price feed supplied by Xignite.com, a worldwide leader in the data supply market.

Are your products actually in stock?

Yes. We are one of the few bullion dealers in the industry who only deems products "in stock" when we have them on-hand and ready to ship immediately. In the instance of a presale item, we denote that the product is on presale and the estimated shipping date. While we make the best efforts to hit presale dates, the dates are only estimates, given we cannot control mint production issues and/or carrier dealyes.

Why are multiple prices listed?

We offer a 4% discount to "cash" paying customers - with paper check, bank wire, and bitcoin payments being defined as cash. On many products, we are also able to offer volume discounts to customers purchasing large quantities of the same item. All volume pricing is laid out in the chart on the product's description page, as well as in the cart.

When do I lock in my price?

All prices are locked in at the time of purchase. Credit/debit card, PayPal, BitCoin, Ethereum, and Ripple orders are paid at the time of checkout, while paper check and bank wire orders require a credit/debit card on file to lock in your pricing while we await your payment. Please note, paper check and bank wire orders will NOT result in a charge to your card - we simple maintain the card on file while we await full payment by your selected payment method.

Do you ship internationally?

We currently only ship to addresses in the United States, including APOs.
