The phoenix is revered as an ancient symbol of happiness and harmony. According to tradition, it’s rarely seen - but for anyone lucky enough to witness its appearance, the phoenix is said to herald prosperity. A rarity like the legendary bird itself, this limited release will be a valuable addition to your silver bullion nest egg.

The coin portrays a phoenix, which according to an ancient Chinese lexicon is the fusion of several other birds, including the head of a pheasant, the body of a mandarin duck, the tail of a peacock, the beak of a parrot and the wings of a swallow. In its beak is the flower of a paulownia tree, said to be the only species on which the phoenix will perch. Also included in the design are stylised representations of clouds, symbols of abundance and good fortune, as well as The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark.

 

The Jody Clark effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II is depicted on the coin’s obverse together with the weight, purity, monetary denomination, and 2022 year-date.
