Koi fish are especially esteemed in East Asia for their symbolic significance. Synonymous with harmony and happiness, koi are often portrayed as two halves of the yin yang symbol in feng shui, representing opposing, yet balancing forces that govern the Universe.

Known for their energy and tenacity, which allow them to swim against strong currents, koi are popularly associated with strength, determination, and success. With the Chinese pronunciation of the word yú (fish) sounding like the term for riches, koi are also strongly linked to wealth and prosperity, most notably when golden in colour.

Struck by The Perth Mint from 2 kilos of 99.99% pure silver, the coin is issued as legal tender under the Australian Currency Act 1965.

The Perth Mint will release no more than 200 of the Koi 2023 2 Kilo Silver High Relief Antiqued Coin.

DESIGN

The coin’s reverse portrays three koi fish swimming in a pebble lined stream with water lily flowers floating on the surface. Included in the design is the inscription ‘KOI’, The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark, and the coin’s weight, purity and 2023 year-date.

The coin bears The Queen Elizabeth II Memorial Obverse, featuring the Jody Clark effigy supplemented with the dates of her reign, and the monetary denomination.

The coins are individually edge numbered from 1 to 200.

PRESENTATION

The coin is housed in a stunning clear case, which makes a perfect display piece. The case sits within a wooden presentation box and is accompanied by a numbered Certificate of Authenticity.

TECHNICAL NOTES

The coin's high relief reverse and obverse are minted on concave surfaces to ensure the optimum flow of metal is achieved by the strike of the die.

This coin has been individually 'antiqued' to give it a unique finish conveying the surface abrasions of an ancient artefact. As a result of this treatment, the appearance of each coin in the mintage may vary.
