2026 Lucky Dragon 8.88 oz Hand Engraved Silver Antiqued Bar

Serial No. 7

A Sculptural Masterpiece of Silver and Storytelling

The 2026 Lucky Dragon 8.88 oz Hand Engraved Silver Antiqued Bar elevates the iconic design into a true work of art. Reimagined by master engraver David Nojaim, each bar is individually hand engraved, transforming the original composition into a dynamic, sculptural expression of fortune, strength, and prosperity. The dragon flows across the surface with enhanced depth and movement, accompanied by the Chinese character for “luck” and the symbolic repeating “8” motif—amplifying themes of abundance and power. There are only 8 of these bars made worldwide making them a rare collectible.

Hand Engraved by David Nojaim

Each bar is meticulously hand engraved by David Nojaim, a master engraver and sculptural artist known for bringing metal to life through dimensional storytelling. Trained at the Munson-Williams-Proctor Institute and refined through a five-year ornamental die cutting apprenticeship with Oneida Silversmiths, Nojaim combines traditional craftsmanship with modern 3D modeling techniques. His work is defined by depth, texture, and precision—seen in projects ranging from sculpted dinnerware for Buffalo China to a 9/11 commemorative piece displayed in the Guggenheim. Now based in Wyoming, Nojaim collaborates nationwide to create coins, bars, and functional art that bridge heritage engraving with contemporary innovation.

Antiqued Finish with Sculptural Depth

The antiqued finish enhances the hand-engraved detail, darkening recessed areas while highlighting raised elements to create dramatic contrast. This treatment emphasizes the dragon’s intricate scales and flowing form, giving each bar a rich, dimensional presence. No two pieces are exactly alike, as the hand-engraving process ensures subtle variations that make every bar unique.

8.88 oz of .999 Fine Silver

Crafted from 8.88 troy ounces of .999 fine silver, this piece carries powerful symbolic meaning. The number 8 is associated with prosperity and success, and the triple-eight format intensifies its significance—making this bar especially meaningful for collectors drawn to both artistry and symbolism.

Ultra-Low Serialized Mintage

Limited to just 8 pieces worldwide, each hand-engraved bar is individually serialized, reinforcing its exclusivity. Combined with the labor-intensive engraving process, this extremely low mintage makes each piece a rare and highly collectible work of art.
