| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse depicts a stylized confrontation of a dragon and a phoenix amid swirling clouds rendered in intricate relief, emblematic of harmony, good fortune, and prosperity in Chinese iconographic tradition. The Pearl of Wisdom is positioned between the two mythological creatures at the center of the composition. The design is executed with fine detail in the cloud patterning and the scaled body of the dragon, contrasting with the plumage of the phoenix. The Perth Mint mintmark P appears in the field, serving as the sole inscription on the reverse. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Dragon and Phoenix pairing draws from Chinese cosmology where the dragon (lóng) signifies masculine imperial power and the phoenix (fènghuáng) feminine virtue — a combination historically reserved for the emperor and empress. Perth Mint has leaned heavily into this iconography since the early 2000s, explicitly targeting Chinese investment markets where such symbolism carries purchasing weight well beyond the metal content. The .9999 fineness designation — "four nines" — itself holds particular commercial significance in those markets, where the purity figure is considered auspicious.
