LAUGHING BUDDHA 2017 GILT PALAU 2oz SILVER COIN HIGH RELIEF 0.5g NGC PF 70 ULTRA CAMEO EARLY RELEASEWhen most people think of Enlightenment in the Eastern sense of the word, they have images of men living monastic lives in isolated, quiet reflection. Laughing Buddha, or “Hotei,” as he is known in Japan, offers a stark contrast to that image. Although Laughing Buddha was in fact a monk, he was anything but isolated. Instead, he walked from town to town carrying a cloth sack that was filled with small toys and candy, which he generously shared with children. When he was finished handing out what he brought with him, he would put down his bag, look up at the sky, and begin laughing. Because laughter is contagious, those around him would begin laughing as well. When all were laughing heartily, he considered his work done and went on to the next town to do more of the same. This coin gives you the opportunity to share in that jolly approach to life.
Laughing Buddha sits at the center of a unique floral pattern. The gilt figure stands out, sharing his joy with the holder, while the floral design enhances the peaceful nature of the iconic figure.
The use of the latest Smartminting® technology gives this coin high relief and accentuates every detail of the beautiful design.
This coin’s proof finish makes this coin shine brightly, perfectly accentuating Laughing Buddha’s commitment to happiness and joy.
This undated coin has a face value of in the Republic of Palau. Palau is an island nation in the Western Pacific that consists of over 300 islands.
The coin comes with a certificate of authenticity, as well as a beautiful display case.
Collectors throughout the world would love to have this simple reminder of the need to take a joyful approach to life, but thanks to this coin’s limited mintage of 888 pieces, few will have the opportunity. That number was chosen because 8 is considered a lucky number in China.
