The mythical creatures of Dragon and Phoenix need little introduction. As the two most powerful celestial animals in Chinese Feng Shui, they represent the ‘Yang’ and ‘Yin’ energy respectively and are often paired together to achieve a perfect balance that is said to invite matrimonial bliss. The Dragon has long been perceived as a symbol of royalty, life, and power, while the Phoenix is the queen of all birds and the embodiment of beauty, luck, and prosperity. When matched together, the Dragon and Phoenix symbolize absolute love, harmony, and togetherness, bringing conjugal happiness and marital bliss to lovers and couples.

To reflect the perfect pairing of the Dragon and Phoenix, this piece is a combination of two individual pieces that shine on their own yet merge together seamlessly to complete an elevated work of art. The individual, teardrop-shaped pieces of the Dragon and Phoenix are cut with extreme precision and accuracy in accordance to their Yang and Yin symbols, and the swirls flush together smoothly to form a single, unified circle – truly befitting to its meaning of an eternal bond. Believed to enhance love and harmony between lovers, this collectible is sure to attract happiness and fertility into any relationship, welcoming a future of boundless bliss and happiness for the couple. 

Each of the 2 999 fine Silver coins is struck in a new minting technique called “Bi-Metal Reverse”, which combines 1 oz of 999 fine silver as the base layer together with a top layer of 2.25 oz of copper. This results in a super ultra-high relief that is matched with an antiqued silver finishing after. This technique allows the coin to have an incredible weight and feel in the hand together with its size.
