In Chinese culture the mythological phoenix is regarded as an immortal bird

whose rare appearance foreshadows armony at the ascent to the throne of a

new emperor. Representing virtue and grace, the phoenix is said to be

symbolic of yin and yang, and the image of this sacred bird is often seen at

weddings and royal events alongside a dragon.

In Feng Shui, the dragon and the phoenix are considered perfect matches for

one another. The phoenix is ‘yin’ while the dragon is ‘yang’ in the Chinese

philosophical account of natural balance and interdependence.

DESIGN

The reverse of the coin features a Chinese phoenix with clouds in the

background and a flower with the Chinese symbol for phoenix inscribed on it.

The coin’s obverse depicts the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Her Majesty Queen

Elizabeth II, the 2018 year-date, and the monetary denomination.

No more than 1,000 of the Phoenix 2018 2oz Silver Antique Coin will be

released.

PRESENTATION

Each coin is housed in a classic display case within an illustrated shipper and

TECHNICAL NOTES

This coin has been individually ‘antiqued’ to give it a unique finish conveying

the surface abrasions of an ancient artefact. As a result of this treatment, the

appearance of each coin may vary.
