| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse presents an elaborate high-relief depiction of a dragon and a phoenix in dynamic confrontation, rendered in exceptional sculptural detail and surrounded by stylised swirling clouds. The dragon, a traditional symbol of power and good fortune in East Asian iconography, is shown with scaled body, clawed limbs, and flowing mane, while the phoenix displays ornate plumage in a posture of ascent. The composition fills both lobes of the figure-eight shaped flan, with the two mythological creatures occupying complementary sections of the design. The Perth Mint's mintmark P and the initials WR appear in the field. The antiqued finish accentuates the intricate surface detail throughout the design. |

The dragon and phoenix pairing draws from a Chinese symbolic tradition stretching back at least to the Han dynasty, where the two creatures were understood as complementary forces — the dragon masculine and celestial, the phoenix feminine and terrestrial. Perth Mint has leaned heavily on Chinese-market bullion since the 1990s, and this release targets Lunar New Year collectors specifically, a demographic that has driven a substantial share of the mint's annual silver program for decades.
The 6th portrait of Elizabeth II, by Jody Clark, was introduced in 2015 — the first effigy change since Ian Rank-Broadley's 4th portrait debuted in 1998.
