2023-P Australia $1 1-oz Silver Chinese Myths & Legends Dragon & Koi Colorized BU
Let This Dragon & Koi Fish Add Some Harmonious Color To Your Collection
This coin features two creatures—one real and one fictional—that combine to form an incredible Yin and Yang design. The real creature is a Koi fish, a species of cold-water carp that were selectively bred for their color in China more than a thousand years ago. Since then, Koi have come to symbolize wealth, good fortune, and prosperity. The fictional creature is the dragon, the most powerful sign in the Chinese lunar calendar. The Dragon personifies imperial power and embodies masculine principles including stability, reliability, dignity, nobility, intellect, and stubbornness. With the release of this fabulous silver coin, the latest in the famed Perth Mint’s Chinese Myths & Legends series, both of these creatures are poised to add their own slice of colorful harmony to your collection.
The Supernatural Beauty Of China’s Dragon & Koi
Struck in a full ounce of highly pure 99.99% silver, this large coin from the Perth Mint’s Chinese Myths & Legends series depicts a green-colorized Eastern Dragon curving around the top of the design while below it a red-hued Koi fish is mirroring its movements in front of a background that shows an Asian garden bridge crossing over a shimmering pool. The Yin Yang image is a symbol of perfect harmony. The detail is so exquisite that you can see every scale on the fish and the intricate nuances of the curving and twisting body of the dragon. To say the design is magnificent is to do it an injustice
