In Chinese tradition, koi are powerful symbols of love, loyalty, and good fortune. Because they are often seen swimming side by side, a pair of koi represents a faithful, harmonious partnership, which is why koi charms and figurines are popular wedding gifts. They are also linked to abundance and fertility, and a koi swimming upstream stands for determination and the courage to follow your own path. Their graceful beauty has even earned them the nickname "swimming flowers."

The reverse of this 2012 Feng Shui coin shows two brightly enamelled koi gliding together in perfect unison. Finely engraved cherry blossoms surround them and frame the scene with a soft, elegant touch. The obverse carries a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II along with the year and face value.
