Big subject, small canvas: Family Name Coin (Chen) Dragon struck in metal. Struck with a gold finish, this coin has the solid feel collectors expect. Subtle touches like smooth fields reward the collector who looks twice.
The artist worked soft luster into the layout with a sure hand. Serious collectors of Chinese family name coins will want the soft luster work in the tray, not the drawer. The Family Name Coin (Chen) Dragon composition balances detail with breathing room. The metalwork renders clean rims with a crispness collectors notice. Polish from the gold finish, detail intact: the best of both. This family name coin photographs well, but the gold finish tells the fuller story in person.
Wrap it for a birthday, a holiday, or just because; a Chinese surname coin like this always lands well. It arrives ready to gift, and the soft luster makes the impression for you. A gold finish like this keeps the piece looking new for years.
