Coiling Dragon Coin Medallion

A coiling dragon frozen mid-writhe on a round coin. This CNC relief sets a stylised Eastern-style dragon inside a circular medallion with a raised outer rim, so the whole thing reads like an oversized collector's coin or a wax-seal token. The dragon rises in a bold S-curve: an open, toothy jaw and horned head at the top, a flowing crest of curling whiskers and mane, a ridged serrated spine running down the body, and a flame-like tail that spirals into a tight scroll at the base. The linework is clean and graphic, carved in shallow relief that pops nicely under angled light. It's a great decorative disc for a den, games room or man-cave — mount it on a plaque, drop it into a boardgame as an oversized faction token, use it as a coaster-style display piece, or make it a lid inlay for a box. Fantasy and Lunar New Year themes both suit it. Cut notes: • A ballnose finishing pass at fine stepover keeps the swirling whiskers and spine spikes smooth; add a small V-bit pass to sharpen the deepest line valleys. • Machine flat from hardwood, MDF (for paint) or acrylic; the raised rim acts as a natural frame so no border work is needed. • Great candidate for a two-tone finish — dark wash into the recesses, then wipe the raised dragon back to bare or gilded highlights. • Scales from a hefty medallion down to a pocket coin; keep relief depth proportional so fine details survive on small versions.
