A Terraced Fields Crane coin with real presence, it stands out in any tray. The gold finish sets off the design the way a frame sets off a painting. The engraver packed mountains into the layout without a hint of crowding.
The designer gave calligraphy pride of place without crowding the field. Whether your shelves hold China souvenir coins or broader themes, this coin belongs. The Terraced Fields Crane imagery carries the whole design with quiet confidence. One for the display tray rather than the drawer: this Chinese souvenir coin earns the upgrade. That gold finish marks this out as a keeper rather than a trinket. Among this season's China souvenir coins, this strike stands out.
A fine pick for anyone building a travel keepsake coin collection from scratch. Order it for the collection, gift it for the smile: this China souvenir coin works both ways. The interplay of calligraphy and the gold finish rewards daily glances.
