| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse features an elaborate design inspired by the Chinese tradition of the 100 Blessings of Good Fortune. A large, richly red-colored square bearing the Chinese character 福 (Fú, meaning good fortune) is prominently placed in the upper right quadrant of the field. The remaining surface is composed of thirteen bamboo-inspired vertical tiers, each engraved with multiple stylized variations of the ideogram 福, totalling one hundred renditions in all, celebrating prosperity and auspiciousness in the Chinese cultural tradition. The colored elements are rendered in vibrant red enamel applied to the struck surface, creating a vivid contrast against the silver-plated copper substrate. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The "100 Blessings of Good Fortune" belongs to a series the Royal Canadian Mint developed specifically for the Chinese-Canadian gift market, where coins bearing auspicious motifs are purchased not for circulation but for presentation at weddings, births, and Lunar New Year celebrations. The cultural practice of gifting coins for luck has deep roots in Chinese tradition, and the RCM recognized a commercially viable niche in producing legal-tender pieces calibrated to that custom.
Silver-plated copper was chosen deliberately to keep the retail price accessible without sacrificing the visual weight expected of a gift piece.
