2021 Australia $100 1-oz Gold Forbidden City Double Pixiu Lions BU

Two Lions Are Better Than One!

If you had a pile of gold coins sitting in a vault somewhere, what could be better at providing protection for this valuable hoard than a Pixiu, a fierce mythological creature with the head of a dragon and the body of a lion. How about TWO Pixiu? Well, that’s just what you’ll get with this gold bullion coin that showcases the pair of beasts who guard the gate at the Imperial Gardens located in China’s famous Forbidden City.

Imperial Dragons from China’s Forbidden City

Struck by Australia’s famed Perth Mint in a full ounce of 99.99% pure gold, this intricately detailed coin depicts the famous pair of “Lions” as they stand watch over a pile of gold coins. Symbols of wealth, good fortune and happiness — and really, if you had a stack of gold coins like this, wouldn’t YOU be happy, too? — the Pixiu Lions are a male and female pair representing the Chinse philosophy of “Yin” and “Yang.” The male’s paw rests on an embroidered ball in a representation of supremacy over the world. The female’s is shown restraining a cub in a symbolic sign of protection and nurturing. Together, they sit atop a pile of ancient Chinese coins. The design is so detailed that you can see the square holes in some of the coins, a common type of “cash” coin used in ancient China.

In addition to the designs of the Imperial Lions, this $100 legal coin also features The Perth Mint’s famous “P” mintmark on the coin’s reverse. What’s more, the coin also features an added security feature: a micro-laser engraved letter within the design that is detectable only under a magnifying glass!
