Lin Family Name Coin
This coin was made for people who love Family Name Coin (Hundreds), plain and simple. The metal carries a gold finish, smooth to the touch and bright to the eye. Raised relief makes dragon pop even in soft room light.
The border treatment frames dragon and finishes the rim neatly. Serious collectors of Chinese family name coins will want the dragon work in the tray, not the drawer. Quiet precision in dragon is what gives this design its personality. The Chinese surname coin format gives the dragon room to breathe at a collectible scale. The gold finish feels rich in the hand and richer on display. Depth in the relief gives dragon an almost sculptural feel.
Set this family name coin on a small stand and the gold finish starts conversations on its own. A desk, a shelf, a display cabinet: wherever this heritage collectible coin sits, the gold finish draws the eye. The dragon detailing alone justifies a spot on the shelf.
