2024 $5 Yin Yang Koi 5oz Silver Proof Coloured Tuvalu Coin with Pearls (Memorial Effigy) - Perth Mint
Mintage 750
In opposition to each other, yet forming a perfectly balanced whole, the koi fish on this stunning 5oz silver coin represent yin yang in their mirrored movement and energy.
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.
The coin portrays a yin yang symbol with black and polished teardrop-shaped halves, each featuring the image of a koi. The interdependence of the fish is represented by the seed of its rival in the form of a black freshwater pearl on the head of the polished koi, and a white freshwater pearl on the head of the black koi. Also included in the design is The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark.
