The ancient yin-yang symbol is a masterpiece of engraving on these prestigious coins of Canada. The coin comes with the denomination of 10 dollars for the silver coin and the 200 for the gold one.

They’re the first to feature gold and silver to illustrate the Chinese philosophy of duality. Gold is yang. It is fiery and active like the sun that dominates the sky. This high-energy realm is captured in the form of a swallow. It’s a symbolic bird that is one of the fastest and most acrobatic in the world.

In contrast, the silver coin shimmers like a pool of cool water. Its yin qualities are perfectly expressed as a koi fish. Together, silver and gold demonstrate the duality that exists in all things. Fire and water! Earth and sky! Their symbolism is profound, their beauty unmatched. Each interpretation will deepen every time you admire these exquisite works of art.

This unique interpretation of the ancient yin-yang symbol conveys an incomparable, upscale wish for good fortune. The obverse of the coin depicts the right-facing portrait of Queen Elizabeth II along with the name of the country and the denomination.
