In Chinese tradition, the dragon and the phoenix are living symbols of harmony and destiny. The dragon embodies strength, wisdom, and life giving power, while the phoenix reflects grace, virtue, and peace. Together, they represent the perfect balance of yin and yang, signifying enduring love, mutual respect, and a harmony from which prosperity and joy can flourish.
The coin’ s coloured reverse features a striking depiction of a graceful phoenix with flowing plumage and outstretched wings, rendered in radiant hues of blue, red, green and orange. Alongside it, a powerful dragon with sharp claws, a serpentine body, and fish like scales appears in shades of orange, red, pink and blue.
Also included in the design are floating cloud motifs, the inscription‘ 2026’ and The Perth Mint’ s‘ P10’ mintmark celebrating 10 years of the Chinese Myths and Legends Coin Series.
