| Beschrijving keerzijde | A pair of Pixiu — mythical Chinese chimeric creatures associated with prosperity and good fortune — are depicted in high relief, seated upon a mound of ancient Chinese coins rendered in fine detail. One Pixiu grasps a sphere in its claws, while the other cradles a Pixiu cub, symbolizing abundance and familial blessing. The composition is richly sculpted with elaborate surface texture across the figures and the coin pile, taking full advantage of the high-relief striking technique. The antiqued finish enhances the contrast between the raised design elements and the recessed field, accentuating the three-dimensional quality of the scene. The Perth Mint's mintmark P and the designer's initials IJ appear in the field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Pixiu is a Chinese mythological hybrid creature — part dragon, part lion — believed to attract wealth while preventing it from leaving, a one-way valve for fortune. Perth Mint has leaned heavily into Chinese cultural themes for bullion and collector issues since the 1990s, when demand from East Asian buyers reshaped the premium coin market globally. This particular pairing of two Pixiu references the auspicious doubling convention common in Chinese gift-giving tradition.
The antiqued silver finish was applied post-strike to accentuate relief depth — a process Perth uses selectively, distinct from standard proof treatment.
