2012 - $15 - Fine Silver coin - Maple of Good Fortune - TAX Exempt

Your Asian-inspired coin includes numerous images and symbols representing good fortune, including an eye-catching hologram flanked by the Chinese character for "good fortune", two deers, five bats, and eight gold coins. The word for deer in Chinese is "lu" which translates to mean income. “Fu” means good fortune in Chinese. A similar sound of Fu means bat, making bats a symbol of good fortune. Eight Chinese coins is a lucky number combination which represents fatt or "Great Prosperity", explaining why the mintage is 8888.

The "Five Blessings" symbol in your coin confers all of the elements of good fortune: long life, health, virtue, wealth, and peaceful old age.
