2021 Australia $2 2 oz. 999 Silver Double Pixiu Antiqued Coin Perth Mint OGP

  
More powerful than a fortune cookie, the mythological Pixiu is a creature so auspicious that people in China refer to it as the Fortune Beast. This lion-looking beast has the head of dragon, the body of a horse and the legs of a kylin. It also has the ability to fly - an important skill as it attempts to satisfy its insatiable appetite for gold, silver and jewels. A traditional Chinese symbol of fortune, happiness and wealth, the Pixiu is also the focus of a coin series from the Australia's Perth Mint that seeks to add good fortune and wealth to your collection! Bask In The Mystical Powers Of The Pixiu.

Struck in two full ounces of 99.99% pure silver, this legal-tender coin features stunning detail that depicts a Pixiu pair sitting upon a mound of ancient Chinese coins.
