Category:Pearls on Chinese numismatic charms

English: Chinese numismatic charms depicting pearls symbolise Endless transformation; perfection and enlightenment (when chased by a dragon); wealth, treasure, pure intentions, and genius in obscurity. Chinese dragons are often depicted as chasing a pearl-like jewel object. The pearl also resembles the moon, and as a dragon devours or disgorges the moon it appears to wane or wax. The flaming pearl is one of the Eight Treasures.
