Background
Carp is a particularly auspicious symbol, both for its reputation as a prolific producer of eggs as well as its symbol’s similar pronunciation to the characters for “profit” and “power.” In a lucky grouping of three, the carp are seen jumping out of the water (in itself symbolic of continuous abundance), which is represented by a repetitive pattern of rippling water that frames the reverse image.
Along with good luck and longevity, prosperity is considered one of life’s great blessings in Chinese culture. In its ongoing series that celebrates the cultural traditions of Canada’s Chinese communities, the Royal Canadian Mint presents this beautifully intricate Silver coin featuring a maple hologram, and confers upon its owner a sincere wish for prosperity and success.
