It is an exceptionally beautiful coin - looks much better than on photos. I missed the first one from last year, but somehow I think this one is great as well. The smallest details are very sharp and clear. Great service as always - thanks.
In Chinese culture the mythological phoenix is regarded as an immortal bird whose rare appearance foreshadows armony at the ascent to the throne of a new emperor. Representing virtue and grace, the phoenix is said to be symbolic of yin and yang, and the image of this sacred bird is often seen at weddings and royal events alongside a dragon. In Feng Shui, the dragon and the phoenix are considered perfect matches for one another. The phoenix is ‘yin’ while the dragon is ‘yang’ in the Chinese philosophical account of natural balance and interdependence.
