Product Description
FIGURE EIGHT KOI FISH – 2019 2 oz SILVER ANTIQUED COIN – AUSTRALIA – PERTH MINT
Evoking Chinese culture and traditions with its unique shape and beautiful koi fish design, this stunning 2 oz silver figure eight shaped coin is only the second of its kind ever struck by The Perth Mint.
The number eight is the luckiest number in Chinese culture thanks to it having similar pronunciation to 发, which means good fortune or to prosper. Uniquely symmetrical, when laid on its side the coin resembles the mathematical symbol for infinity – an important principle in feng shui used to denote everlasting wealth, happiness, love and abundance.
Koi fish are traditional symbols of perseverance, strength, ambition and good fortune and the coin’s stunning reverse design depicts two koi fish and a lotus flower.
Each coin is struck by The Perth Mint from 2 oz of 99.99% pure silver.
The Perth Mint will release no more than 3,888 of the Figure Eight Koi Fish 2019 2oz Silver Antiqued Coin.
DESIGN
Shaped like a figure eight, the coin’s reverse features two koi fish swimming against the currents, and a lotus flower. The Perth Mint’s traditional ‘P’ mint mark also appears in the design.
The Jody Clark effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, the monetary denomination, the weight and fineness, and the 2019 year-date are shown on the coin’s obverse. A pattern of infinity symbols surrounds each circle in the figure eight design.
