2024 Yin and Yang Koi 5oz Silver Proof Coloured Coin with Pearls

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. Each coin is struck by The Perth Mint from 5oz of 99.99% pure silver and issued as legal tender under the authority of the Government of Tuvalu.

The Perth Mint will release no more than 750 of the Yin Yang Koi 2024 5oz Silver Proof Coloured Coin with Pearls.

DESIGN

The coin portrays a yin yang symbol with black and polished teardrop-shaped halves, each featuring the image of a koi.

Also included in the design is The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark.
