Comment
This Asian-inspired coin is adorned with several images and symbols representing good fortune, including an eye-catching hologram next to which are the Chinese character denoting good fortune, two deer, five bats and eight gold coins. The Chinese character for deer is pronounced "lou", a homophone of the word for salary. Good fortune is pronounced "fou" in Chinese, as is the character for bat, so this animal is considered a symbol of good fortune. The presence of the eight gold coins is explained by the fact that the number 8, which translates into the sound "fa", is considered a lucky charm for the Chinese and represents prosperity.Packaging:
- The coin is encapsulated and presented in a padded burgundy double-shell packaging protected by a sheath of the same color.
