2023 Australia Myths & Legends: Silver Dragon & Koi
The 2023 Chinese Myths and Legends silver coin from the Perth Mint depicts a dragon holding a pearl and a koi fish. The mythical dragon stands for yang's male aspect, strength, and good fortune. The koi is believed to possess strong and vibrant life energy. They have a remarkable ability to continue moving upstream against strong water. It's not a surprise that the koi fish has come to stand for luck, achievement, and tenacity in Chinese culture.
Coin Highlights:
- Contains 1 oz of .9999 fine Silver.
- Limited mintage of 40,000 coins worldwide.
- Obverse: The Jody Clark effigy of Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, her years of reign: 1952-2022, the monetary denomination and the 2023 year-date.
- Reverse: Features a fire breathing dragon suspended in air over a waterway, whose breath of fire envelopes a pearl at the coin's center. The koi fish, a symbol of good fortune and longevity in Chinese culture splashes in the water below. Also included is The Perth Mint's "P" mint mark. The background of the design includes Beijing's Jade Belt Bridge.

Chinese mythology places a lot of emphasis on the dragon. It is the sole fictional character in the Chinese zodiac and it stands for fortune, fortitude, and health. On the other hand, koi fish stand for fame and riches. According to Chinese legend, koi have the capacity to change into a dragon!
A Golden Dragon in Chinese Mythology (Koi Dragon Meaning)
This graceful fish is deeply entrenched in Chinese mythology, especially in stories about bodies of freshwater, such as the Yellow River. One ancient legend tells the tale of koi swimming in this very river. They are depicted as a school of golden fish, which shimmer in the sunlit water as they swim upward against a strong current. Eventually, the determined koi reach the end of the river and encounter a waterfall. Some koi, deterred by the force of the waterfall, turn back and choose to be carried away by the river’s current. The remaining fish are steadfast in their efforts to make it atop the waterfall, and so are said to have tried and tried again by leaping out of the water. Despite their best attempts, none were successful that day, yet they did manage to catch the attention of powerful demons.
These demons decided to make a sham of the koi’s best efforts. They raised the height of the waterfall, making it near impossible for even the highest jumpers to ever reach the top. A hundred years later, a lone koi that had continuously persevered finally made it to the top! This feat drew recognition from the gods. As a reward for its strength and determination, the gods turned the lone koi into a golden dragon. This legend is known as ‘The Dragon Gate’, and best explains why koi have become symbolic of perseverance through adversity.

Detail on mythical creatures like dragon adds beauty in any collection, also more difficult for people to forge fake copies of coin.
