Two of the most auspicious beasts in ancient Chinese mythology are the Koi fish and the Dragon, representing harmony between complementary elements of water and fire. The Koi symbolizes perseverance and longevity, while the Dragon is an enduring symbol of authority and accomplishment. They are paid tribute in extraordinary high-relief artwork on the 2023 13.5 oz Antique Republic of Chad Bi-Metal Koi and Dragons Coin, now available from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
The long-lived Koi carp has a long history in Chinese culture as a symbol of perseverance and immortality. One famous legend about the Yellow River illustrates the reasons for this: it tells the story of a group of Koi carp trying to make their way up a waterfall in the face of opposition by demons, with the last of them earning the approval of the gods by succeeding. Dragons have an even more venerable history as symbols of the yang “masculine” power of generation, symbols of imperial authority, and rulers of the weather.
These symbols come together on the 2023 Antique Republic of Chad Koi and Dragons Coin, containing two ounces of pure silver and another 11.5 ounces of fine copper. Featuring an ultra high-relief, partly-colorized engraving with an antique finish that brings out the details of the artwork dramatically, it ships fully insured by JM Bullion in a presentation case with a Certificate of Authenticity.
The coin’s obverse side features Chad’s coat of arms against a backdrop of the Yin-Yang symbol of traditional Chinese cosmology and philosophy. It’s accompanied by the inscriptions “REPUBLIQUE DU TCHAD 2023,” and “10000 FRANCS CFA.”
Its reverse side features extremely high-relief engravings of a pair of colorized Koi carp set against the backdrop of a sinuous, extraordinarily detailed dragon, with all of them swirling around a Yin-Yang symbol comprised of flames and waves. They’re surrounded by an abstract decorative rim.
