Premiering the Anne Stokes Dragons series is 1 oz Silver Round – Anne Stokes Dragons - Friend or Foe. Portrayed on front of this stunning silver round are an enormous dragon with large horns and spikes and a beautiful, fur-cloaked woman in a blue dress. The dragon has a fierce, dangerous appearance, yet the female stands confidently beside him as though if the two are friends. While the female embraces the dragon under his powerful jaw, she rests her head against his. The pair stare off into the distance with the night sky illuminated behind them.
The standard reverse of the series features an iconic dragon design by Anne Stokes. The pure silver round portrays an overhead view of a grand, open-winged dragon. Encircled perfectly by its wingspan are the dragon’s turned, uplifted head and curved, spiked tail. Across the top rocker of the coin reads the text Anne Stokes Dragons while the bottom center text displays weight and purity.

Originally from London, England, Anne started her career as a merchandise designer for bands including the Rolling Stones and Queen.
