Koi fish are incredibly esteemed in East Asia for their symbolic significance. Synonymous with harmony and happiness, koi are often portrayed as two halves of the yin-yang symbol in feng shui, representing opposing, yet balancing forces that govern the Universe.

Known for their energy and tenacity, which allow them to swim against strong currents, koi are popularly associated with strength, determination, and success. With the Chinese pronunciation of the word yú (fish) sounding like the term for riches, koi are also strongly linked to wealth and prosperity, especially when golden in colour.

ABOUT THE PERTH MINT

The Perth Mint opened in 1899 as the British Royal Mint’s 3rd branch in Australia. The historical Hay Street location handled gold refining until moving to a modern facility in April 1990. Ownership of the mint was transferred to the Government of Western Australia in July of 1970. Under an agreement with the Commonwealth Treasury, they were empowered to mint and market gold, silver, and platinum as Australian legal tender to investors and collectors worldwide. Today, they are amongst the elite world mints whose pure gold, silver, and platinum items are trusted without question. Items such as the Australian Nugget, Silver Coin Series (Kangaroo, Kookaburra, Koala, and Platypus to name a few), as well as the Australian Lunar Gold and Silver Coin Series are extensively sought after by bullion investors worldwide.
