In Chinese culture, it is common for individuals to pass blessings along to one another in the form of coins, medals, tokens, or other methods of well wishing. In giving a coin with the Five Blessings design to another, one is expresses to the recipient a desire for them to enjoy future happiness.
On the reverse face of the coin you’ll find the image of five animals, each one indicative of a different blessing. The bat, deer, magpie, and two cranes symbolize, in order, happiness, success in your career, long life, and joy. Engravings of the coins metal content, purity, and weight slice through the center of the design in a crescent shape.
