Every detail of the 2019 2 oz Antique Tuvalu Dragon and Phoenix reverse design is intricately crafted. Both the dragon and phoenix are prominent in Chinese culture, and so too is the bagua design found in the center of the reverse. Chinese cultural tradition holds the dragon as a reverse, divine creature that is a potent symbol of power, strength, and wealth.
The phoenix is a mythical beast believed to be immortal. Its appearance is rare, but when it does come around it is believed to foreshadow moments of harmony. The bagua design in the center of the reverse is a motif that incorporates Taoist trigrams that represent one of the eight fundamental elements.
