The Royal Canadian Mint's Ultra High Relief gold coin is dedicated to the Year of the Dragon, which is the fifth of a total of twelve animals in the Chinese zodiac calendar. Struck from 188 gram of 99.99% pure gold, the coin features a dragon in the foreground with stylized clouds and the sun in the background. Along the edge of the coin is the inscription "CANADA" and the denomination "350 DOLLARS". The background picks up on the element of "wood", which is associated with the zodiac sign of the dragon in 2024, and features an engraved wood grain. The reverse also shows the wood grain as well as a rear view of the dragon, stylized clouds, the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II and the year of issue. The special feature of this coin is the ultra high relief minting on both sides, which gives this issue a unique, three-dimensional look.

The Dragon is attributed with qualities such as reliability, self-confidence, courage and a strong willpower. Those born under the sign of the Dragon in 2024, 2012, 2000, 1988, 1976, 1964, and every 12th year before are considered energetic, enthusiastic, and intelligent. Dragons are charismatic, attract others with their magnetic personality, and are often considered natural leaders. Strictly limited to 108 pieces worldwide, the double Ultra High Relief Year of the Dragon gold proof coin is delivered in the noble wooden box including a numbered certificate of authenticity from the Royal Canadian Mint.
