Stock: Available
Code: 18S1200
The Chinese Character for blessing and prosperity is “fu”. The character symbolizes a positive, joyful atmosphere and is said to bring good luck.
On ancient oracle bone inscriptions, the fu character 福 was a pair of hands holding a large jar, symbolizing someone asking for blessing and fortune from the gods, in front of an altar. The ancient Chinese carried out this ritual of making offerings to the gods and praying for peace and joy.
DESIGN
The reverse of the coin features the fu character in colour. The design includes all lucky elements. In Chinese culture, the dragon is revered as a divine mythical creature, a symbol of power, strength, wealth, and good fortune. The Bat has the ability to do good for its owner, attracting prosperity energy and driving away negative forces. The four-leaf clover is a rare variation of the common three-leaf clover. According to tradition, such clovers bring good luck. Gold ingots have the Feng Shui symbolism of wealth and high status.
The coin’s obverse depicts the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, the 2018 year-date, and the monetary denomination.
PRESENTATION
Each coin comes presented in book-style packaging with the Certificate of Authenticity and series number is at the back of the packaging.
