The wealth coin’s reverse depicts a representation of a rooster standing atop a stack of coins and holding a string of bronze ‘cash’ coins signifying wealth and prosperity. The background features a representation of the Terracotta Army. The inscriptions WEALTH and 2017 YEAR OF THE ROOSTER also appear in the design with The Perth Mint’s traditional ‘P’ mintmark.

The wisdom coin’s reverse depicts a representation of an older rooster in a Chinese water garden sitting on a scholar’s rock signifying age and wisdom. The inscriptions WISDOM and 2017 YEAR OF THE ROOSTER also appear in the design with The Perth Mint’s traditional ‘P’ mintmark.

The Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, the monetary denomination, and the 2017 year-date are shown on each coin’s obverse
