Here is a coin that takes Nanjing Landmarks City Wall seriously, from rim to rim. The gold finish with full-color detailing reads as quality the moment the coin leaves its capsule. A closer look brings out pagoda worked into the relief.
Each element of temple is modeled with care, not merely outlined. Among commemorative coins, this design stands out for staying true to its subject. There is an honesty to the Nanjing Landmarks City Wall design that mass-market coins lack. The gold finish with full-color detailing sets off the design the way a frame sets off a painting. A collectible commemorative coin like this makes the whole collection look better. The commemorative coins shelf deserves a strike with this much personality.
For the traveler who collects memories, this souvenir coin is the next one. A commemorative coin with real staying power on the shelf and in the memory. The temple work gives guests something to lean in for.
