But, @bengy has a good and generous heart. And for some CRAZY reason he felt guilty for winning ALL of the prizes. So, @bengy decided to give three of his prizes away! He did this with the random number generator tool in the silver gold stackers discord.
I ended up winning one of @bengy’s prizes in the giveaway!
The item, a donation from @enginewitty, would be a one ounce piece of silver (my choice) from the APMEX website. It took me awhile to make my selection, but in the end I chose a new coin from a series I’ve been collecting. My prize arrived in the mail about a week ago.
It’s a Rwandan Lunar New Year Dragon Coin!

My coin, like the others I own in the series, arrived “mint sealed” in a protective plastic covering. This cover has a black mint mark that matches the back of the coin. I DID NOT REMOVE THIS COVER! 🤣😂🤣😂 Anyone who knows me, knows I love a shiny and untarnished coin.

My full collection of Rwandan Lunar New Year coins, all mint sealed!

If you know anything about the silver gold stackers community, you know the coin wasn’t the only thing @enginewitty sent.
Are those tiny dragons?
YES! Ba-jillions of tiny dragons!
What’s better than a ba-jillion tiny dragons?
Only a ba-jillion tiny dragons lined up outside of course!
Before I get to the NEXT THING, I would be remiss if I didn’t share with you the specs on the dragon coin. This 1 troy ounce, .999 pure silver coin is the eighth release in the Rwandan lunar new year series. The front depicts a stylized mosaic dragon. While the reverse features the seal of Rwanda. The coin has a face value of 50 Rwandan francs.
But… the coin and dragons were not the only things in this package!
????
Witty also sent me flowers!
Do I like them better outdoors for alfresco dining?
Or, do we like them better here on the mantle?
The flowers and vase came disassembled in four different packages. While these are not LEGO, the idea was the same (just a different company). I carefully followed the instructions to put together this vase, the two blue bonnet stems and the hydrangea flower.
In exciting news for me, the flowers are also PART OF A SERIES! There are 9 different flowers to buy and build. The others to collect are the rose, sunflower, dahlia, lily, tulip, marigold and daisy. I cannot resist a series, so I will surely be purchasing the rest of these flowers soon! I will probably need another vase too. 😄
Many thanks to @enginewitty for the fabulous prize pack. Many thanks to @buggedout for organizing another stellar MONSTER RAFFLE. And many thanks to the silver gold stackers for being the most generous community on the Hive blockchain. 🩷
