5 Woven Joined Fancy Coins

Five Chinese coins for protection against loss of wealth-west

The Five Emperor Coins are tied with a special mystic knot, which symbolises the multiplication of fortune and prosperity.

For many centuries, Chinese coins have been a very desirable symbol, signifying prosperity and owning many riches. The Chinese coin itself has an interesting design and depiction; because it is round, with a square-shaped hole in the centre, it is said to be a representation of earth surrounded by heaven. It is for this reason that, when utilised by humans, they are an emblem of the harmony of the Heaven-Earth-Man.

The coin has two sides; The Yang side, which boasts the four Chinese signs of the emperor's reign, and the Yin side, which features 2 characters. The five coins invoke the five Emperors of the Universe for protection against danger and harm as well as to attract wealth luck. The five coins also signify the five feng shui elements (metal, wood, water, fire and earth) for a balanced and harmonious life.
