Description:
The reverse of the coin features a representation of a Pixiu pair also known as Guardian Lions facing each other (look like they have the head of a dragon and the body of a lion). The Pixiu were believed to have an insatiable appetite for gold and silver which is why the lions in this picture are sitting upon a mound of ancient Chinese coins. One grasps a ball and the other a Pixiu cub. The design also includes a stylized pattern and The Perth Mint's traditional ‘P' mintmark and the designer's initials (IJ) below right on the dragon's leg below.
