The Rectangular Bars Hundred Fu Calligraphy gets the full commemorative treatment here — gold-tone finish, detailed, and ready to display. The coin is a souvenir issue, meant for albums and display cases.
Struck in gold-tone finish, it catches the light the way collectors like. From rectangular bars to Fu character, the design keeps giving — a Chinese collectible coin with real substance. The Fu character is the old written wish for happiness and blessing. The overall impression is handsome rather than flashy. Small text elements remain legible — a sign of a careful die. Lettering, where present, is crisp and legible. The reverse carries the design through; this isn’t a one-sided affair. The coin has the satisfying heft collectors associate with quality strikes. The design is balanced — no dead space, no crowding.
For the traveler’s shelf: a memory in metal — a fine Chinese commemorative coin. Collectors of Chinese memorabilia will know exactly what to do with it.
