The reverse of the Eight shaped coin features two dragons wrapped around one another and holding coins in their claws. The number eight is also considered extremely lucky as the Chinese word for ‘eight’ sounds similar to ‘good fortune’ or ‘money’. The Perth Mint’s “P” mintmark below and the designer's initials "WR" in tiny letters below right.
