The 2023 Dragon and Koi 1oz silver coin is part of the popular Perth Mint Chinese Myths & Legends series.

The highly detailed design shows a traditional Chinese Dragon in the air above a river with a Koi Carp beneath. In Chinese and east Asian mythology, dragons are a symbol of power, strength, wealth, and good fortune while koi are associated with harmony and happiness. In the background is the ‘moon bridge’ whose arc and reflection on the water form the shape of a full moon, often associated with purity or perfection. Together these three symbols form a very lucky omen, especially when related to regard to marriage and fertility

The 2023 Dragon & Koi 1oz coins are minted in 999.9 pure silver and weigh 31.103 grams. They feature a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II by Jody Clark on the obverse, and are valued at $1 Australian.
