For the Paifang Gate Panda enthusiast: a gold-plated finish coin that does the subject justice. Made as a collectible — a keepsake coin, not currency.
Finished in gold-plated finish, it has the heft and shine of a proper keepsake. The design packs in panda, paifang gate, and bamboo — a fine Chinese gift coin. City skyline and bridge round out the imagery. The panda is an instant signal of China — friendly and unmistakable. A keeper — the sort of coin that stays in the collection, a strong feng shui lucky coin by any measure. The overall impression is handsome rather than flashy. Relief depth is good — the design reads clearly even in low light. It stacks neatly with standard capsules and albums.
Buy one for the collection and one for the friend who travels, and a worthy Chinese collectible coin. A souvenir with staying power — not the kind that ends up in a drawer.
