Chinese culture expresses good fortune through a multitude of ancient and vibrant symbols and traditions. Family and friends still actively bestow blessings of good fortune upon each other.
The Giant Panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) holds an esteemed place in ancient and modern Chinese lore, representing qualities that are highly revered in Chinese society. This symbol of good fortune is well complemented by the imagery of bamboo, a symbol of longevity and the Panda’s main food source. When presented together, the images offer wishes of good luck over the long term.
Coin also features an encircled Chinese character meaning “good fortune”.
