Story
Yin and yang
In Chinese culture yin yang represent two opposing principles in nature. Yin is characterised as slow, soft, yielding, cold, wet, and passive; and is associated with water, the earth, the moon, femininity, and night-time. In contrast, Yang is fast, hard, solid, focused, hot, dry, and aggressive; and is associated with fire, the sky, the sun, masculinity and daytime.
Innovative design
The coin's reverse depicts the five Chinese elements of wood, fire, earth, metal, and water, surrounding a stainless steel enamel plated yin yang rotating charm, which represents the continual flow of the five elements as they exist in nature. The design includes the inscriptions WOOD, FIRE, EARTH, METAL and WATER, as well as the Chinese symbols for each of the five elements, and The Perth Mint's traditional 'P' mintmark.

Antiqued finish
To capture the depth and detail of the design, the coin features an antique finish. This coin has been individually 'antiqued' to give it a unique finish conveying the surface abrasions of an ancient artefact. As a result of this treatment, the appearance of each coin may vary.
Presentation packaging
This coin is housed in a classic Perth Mint presentation case with a themed, customised shipper and is accompanied by a numbered certificate of authenticity.
