Eastern symbolism
In Chinese mythology, the dragon is a divine creature and an auspicious symbol of power, strength, wealth, and good fortune. Throughout East Asia and beyond, koi are synonymous with harmony and happiness, and are also said to be lucky omens for marriage and fertility.
Green dragon and red koi design
The coin portrays coloured representations of a Chinese dragon and a koi. A green dragon is associated with springtime and renewal; a red koi predicts life changes, love, and motherhood. Eyed by both creatures, the flame-ringed pearl is the ancient embodiment of wisdom. Also included is a ‘moon bridge’ – its high arch and reflection on the water creating the shape of the lunar body often associated with purity or perfection.
