2015 $150 Blessing of Prosperity Gold Coin 99999 (ASK FOR PRICE)
This coin represents good fortune, longevity, and wealth, which are regarded in Chinese culture as one of life's greatest benefits and a foundation for the ideal life. The Royal Canadian Mint offers this pure gold coin with a scalloped edge as part of its ongoing series honouring the cultural practices of Canada's Chinese community. It bestows onto its possessor a heartfelt wish for prosperity and success. The owner is blessed with success as a result of the Simon Ng design, created in Canada. One of the 12 animals of the Chinese zodiac, the ox, is depicted in the image's centre. This animal has a long history of being employed in agriculture and for labor-intensive jobs, and its perseverance and diligence are seen to lead to success. It is also a spring symbol that denotes a plentiful harvest for the coming year, along with an accumulation of wealth. As it walks steadily through the terrain, this fortunate sign is a representation of power. Its belt of five coins is particularly appropriate because coins stand for money (and hence, success), and five is a lucky number that brings blessings for a balanced existence. The Chinese symbol to the left of the ox represents the blessing for an abundant new year.
