Tuvalu 2023 $5 Chinese Mythical Creatures Phoenix & The Birds 5oz Silver Coloured Antiqued Coin

According to Chinese legend, the phoenix was once a plain and inconspicuous bird. While other birds preferred to frolic in the forest, it constantly foraged for nuts and seeds, earning a reputation for being dull and greedy. The coin portrays a multicoloured Chinese phoenix in flight. It is surrounded by a collage of other birds among plants, flowers, and clouds, with several in colour.
