The one-time issue of the stunning Bull and Bear silver coins features a design from Ing Ing Jong on the reverse. Ms Jong was hired by the Perth Mint as a coin designer in 2011. After a few years of working on random series, she was assigned to work on the Lunar Series II collection. Since 2013, she has contributed designs to the Lunar Series collection including the start of the Lunar Series III program in 2020.
Historical records speak of the bear first in terms of financial markets. It was a proverbial caution amongst hunters and traders to not “sell the bear’s skin before one has caught the bear.” As such, it was associated with the downswing of a market while the bull later came to be associated with an uptick in market activity and growth.
On the obverse of 2020 1 oz Australian Silver Bull and Bear Coins is a depiction of Queen Elizabeth II. Her Majesty is featured here in a right-profile design created by Jody Clark for Australian coins. The image depicts the Queen wearing the George IV State Diadem Crown which was commissioned in 1821 and includes 1,333 diamonds.
The reverse side of the 2020 Australian Silver Bull and Bear Coin features a stylized bear and bull circling around one another. The power of the bear is the only thing capable of correcting the runaway strength of a bull market.
