Due to Australia's location, Asian culture is popular enough there to have its own stake, similar to how Americans adopt some culture from their southern neighbor, Mexico. Australia and China have a frequent amount of tourist cross-traffic.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe dragon and the tiger are significant in Chinese and general Asian culture as dual representatives of the Yin\/Yang symbol. In martial arts, this symbolism was referenced in the 2000 film \"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon,\" which became an international turn-of-the-century hit. Deeper roots may be found in a famous pair of Confucius temples in Taiwan, the Dragon and Tiger Pagodas in Zuoying District. You can find more dragon and tiger references throughout east Asian culture, from cartoons to cuisine.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis beautifully rendered and detailed coin has a mintage of 50K, making it decently available and affordable for collectors of all budgets.
