Souvenir coins are common; good ones aren’t. This Tibetan Text Stupa is one of the good ones, and a worthy lucky Chinese coin for wealth. A souvenir coin through and through: collect it, gift it, display it.
Struck in gold-tone finish, it catches the light the way collectors like. The Tibet theme runs through the whole design. The pairing of Tibetan script with stupa carries the whole design, the kind of Chinese collectible coin worth framing well. The stupa silhouette is Tibet’s architectural signature. Finish quality is consistent; no two coins in the batch should surprise you. Color areas, where present, are evenly applied with no bleeding. It stacks neatly with standard capsules and albums.
