    Hello stackers

    I picked up a very nice koi fish coin from the nz mint. It's part of their "feng shui" series.
    So i took a look at the others in the series, there are 7 silver coins. 6 of them are pretty nice designs but there is one hideous coin, can you find it?

    Bit harsh. Maybe if you kiss it, it'll turn into a handsome prince?

    Looks a bit like Jabba the Hut!

    Definitely doesn't seem to fit in with the other 5

    NZ Mint usually has excellent designs but just like most large mints, they will invariably produce some ugly pieces.

    FP,
    It is an important motif in Feng Shui and is believed to represent financial protection and turn financial strife into good luck !!

    Hi FP, i loved the koi design of feng sui series by the reason that i used to trade and sell these lively fishes. I have a store for 15 years and works on many pond making projects with my wife. Now i stop selling and only keeping my own as a hobby. I have'nt collected the series but someday if i find, i will buy the dragon.
