This coin was made for people who love Hai Zhu Pig, plain and simple. That silver finish marks this out as a keeper rather than a trinket. Negative space around zodiac lets the design breathe.
With zodiac in the mix, the design never feels generic. Among ancient Chinese-style coins, this design stands out for staying true to its subject. The Hai Zhu Pig motif rewards a closer look, and this strike delivers the detail. This ancient Chinese coin photographs well, but the metal tells the fuller story. The silver finish gives the piece a warm glow and a satisfying heft.
Tuck this Chinese cash-style coin into a stocking or a gift box; the design does the rest. Give it as a gift and watch the recipient turn this zodiac collectible coin over again and again. Set it where the silver finish can catch the light; it will do the rest.
