Reverse

The reverse field of the 2020 Proof Australian Guardian Lions Double Pixiu 2 oz Silver Coin bears the image of the two pixiu. This male-female pair is shown sitting on a mound of Ancient Chinese coins with the male on the left clutching a ball and the female on the right holding a pixiu club. The only inscription on this face is the P mint mark of the Perth Mint.

History

The pixiu is commonly associated with Feng Shui in both art and architecture. The pixiu is considered a powerful protector of the practitioners of Feng Shui and can be used within the practice to attract wealth. In fact, the male pixiu is said to have an insatiable taste for gold and silver and will seek it out to provide to its master. The female serves as the protector in the pair and wards off evil.
