From the first glance, the subject here is unmistakable: Prosperity Dragon. Relief and depth in the artwork owe much to the gold finish with full-color detailing. The border treatment frames clouds and finishes the rim neatly.
The artist worked clouds into the layout with a sure hand. Collectors who know China souvenir coins will spot the difference in strike quality. There is an honesty to the Prosperity Dragon design that mass-market coins lack. This Chinese souvenir coin is the kind of piece collectors reach for first. The gold finish with full-color detailing catches the light as you turn the piece, edge to edge. The China souvenir coins shelf deserves a strike with this much personality.
It is the rare travel keepsake coin that feels personal rather than mass-produced. Pair this China souvenir coin with a display stand for a present that looks twice the price. The gold finish with full-color detailing alone makes this piece worth displaying out in the open.
