HAPPY AND HARMONIOUS KOI

Koi fish are revered for their beauty, serenity, and symbolic significance. Synonymous with harmony and happiness, they are often associated with the yin yang symbol in feng shui, representing opposing, yet balancing forces said to govern the cosmos.

YIN YANG DESIGN

The coin portrays a yin yang symbol with black and polished teardrop-shaped halves, each featuring the image of a koi. The interdependence of the fish is represented by the seed of its rival in the form of a black freshwater pearl on the head of the polished koi, and a white freshwater pearl on the head of the black koi. Also included in the design is The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark.

MEMORIAL OBVERSE

The coin bears The Queen Elizabeth II Memorial Obverse featuring the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy supplemented with the dates of Her Majesty’s reign. Also included are the coin’s weight, purity, monetary denomination, and 2024 year-date.

PRESENTATION PACKAGING

Accompanied by a numbered certificate of authenticity, the coin is housed in a black presentation case which comes in a superbly illustrated shipper.

ABOUT THE PERTH MINT

The Perth Mint opened in 1899 as the British Royal Mint's 3rd branch in Australia. The historical Hay Street location handled gold refining until moving to a modern facility in April 1990. Ownership of the mint was transferred to the Government of Western Australia in July of 1970. Under an agreement with the Commonwealth Treasury, they were empowered to mint and market gold, silver, and platinum as Australian legal tender to investors and collectors worldwide. Today, they are amongst the elite world mints whose pure gold, silver, and platinum items are trusted without question. Items such as the Australian Nugget, Silver Coin Series (Kangaroo, Kookaburra, Koala, and Platypus to name a few), as well as the Australian Lunar Gold and Silver Coin Series are extensively sought after by bullion investors worldwide.
