As most collectors know, ANY coin release coming out of China is greeted with an enthusiastic response across the globe, and these coins are no different. But therein lies the problem since it’s been estimated that less than 1% of these coins ever leave China. And with a mintage of only 40,000, that means only a handful of the coins available here ever make it outside China—and fewer still arrive on America’s shores.

In this offer you can secure the lovely legal-tender 5 Yuan silver coin representing “Happiness.” The coin depicts a colorized pattern of peony and tangled branches, Chinese idiom wordings “Hua Kai Fu Gui” implying happiness and prosperity, and the face value. In addition to being a symbol of female beauty, the peony is one of the most auspicious flowers in Chinese culture and has come to symbolize love, prosperity, and beauty. The obverse features the Chinese character for “Auspiciousness” with a traditional Chinese decorative pattern, country name, and the year of issue.
