Chinese Coin Good Luck Charm

Mottled with a patch of white crust and only two characters brave enough to show.

This coin good luck charm is from China. It is bronze. The square hole in a Chinese coin is often read as a symbol of earth within the round form of heaven, though explanations of the design vary. Broad round disc with a large square hole and a wide, pale rim. Two characters appear on the left and right of the hole, partly obscured, while chalky white and blue corrosion spreads across the upper right.

A little mysterious, a little crusty.
