The Perth Mint has released a new Australian legal tender silver bullion coin rich in Chinese symbolism – the Dragon and Phoenix 2017 1oz Silver Coin is a standalone release that complements the annual Australian Bullion Coin Program.

Meticulously struck from 1oz of 99.99% pure silver, this coin is an excellent way for investors to accumulate silver from one of the world’s most trusted sources. With a maximum mintage of just 50,000 the coin’s reverse depicts exquisitely detailed representations of a dragon, a phoenix and a flaming pearl, with a stylised representation of clouds in the background

Chinese symbolism
The dragon has supreme status in Chinese mythology as the greatest divine force on Earth. The Phoenix is regarded as an immortal bird whose rare appearance foreshadows harmony at the ascent to the throne of a new emperor.

In Feng Shui, the dragon and phoenix are perfect matches for one another. The phoenix is ‘yin’ while the dragon is ‘yang’ in the Chinese philosophical account of natural balance and interdependence. Their portrayal together is a widely recognized symbol of everlasting love.

The coin’s reverse depicts exquisitely detailed representations of both mythical creatures on a background of stylized clouds. The design includes a flaming pearl – a sign of wisdom, prosperity, and power.

The reverse also incorporates a ‘P’ mintmark reflecting The Perth Mint’s 117 years of excellence in precious metal minting.

Superb quality
This stunning coin features a high quality bullion finish comprising polished design elements on a delicately frosted background. Often referred to as ‘reverse proof’, the finish is associated with the highest quality bullion coins in the world.

Presentation
Each bullion coin is presented in a protective acrylic capsule.
