This fascinating design brings together the mythical qi lin, which signifies yin-yang harmony in ancient Chinese mythology, and the fabled unicorn from western folklore. While they have their origins in different cultural traditions, the two horse-like creatures have been revered for centuries, sharing intriguing likenesses in their appearance and otherworldly powers. 99.99% Pure Silver
The coin is struck by The Perth Mint from 2oz of 99.99% pure silver.
Stunning Unicorn Reverse Design
The coin’s reverse depicts exquisitely detailed representations of a qi lin surrounded by a stylised representation of fire and water, and a western representation of a unicorn. The Chinese characters for ‘qi lin’ and the English word ‘unicorn’ are included in the design.
