MMMM Posted September 27, 2011 Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 Dragons are cool. I know there are a good number of Dragons on notes. Do you know of any Dragons nicer than this one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted September 28, 2011 Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 None are better in my opinion. I've seen some nice Asian ones, but most seem to get lost in the surrounding design of the note. I've a couple of St. George and the Dragon depictions on notes too, but they are mostly the "wormy" or "serpent" kind rather than the classic European style depicted on the 1904 German note you've posted.

MMMM Posted October 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 I don't think I have seen a "St. George and the Dragon" do you have one? Here is a nice one from Asia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted October 2, 2011 Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 I had three in mind when I wrote earlier. These are them: Bhutan - asian style dragon Russia - St. George & the Dragon (a very snake/worm looking dragon) Norway - with a decent replication of a woodcut on of a warrior and a dragon (I don't think it's supposed to be St. George) The images are not to scale [edit - Many earlier Russian notes have St. George and the dragon hidden in the center of the seal... Like on the coins, you need a strong loupe to make it out decently though.] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMMM Posted October 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 Yeah, I see your point. They are kind of wormy. I wonder if there are any good ones on Notgeld. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skeeeeezo Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 The best Dragon banknote is the China 100 Yaun. Not sure what year, but try googling it. Dragon is BIG! Front & center! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
