2012 S$15 Canada Scallop Year of the Dragon
The year 2012 is ruled by the Dragon. The Dragon personality is the ultimate "doer." It tackles everything with fiery enthusiasm. The Dragon is extremely loyal to its loved ones and will come to the rescue every time. Right or wrong, forget about steering a Dragon away from a disastrous situation, duty calls! The Dragon may have a big ego and demanding ways, but it inspires everyone it comes into contact with. This magical character is too captivating to resist.
The Year of the Dragon also ruled 1904, 1916, 1928, 1940, 1952, 1964, 1976, 1988, and 2000.
