China · Macau · 1985 · 20 Avos (2 Ho) — “Lu” Good Fortune
This elegant silver proof coin from Macau, issued in 1985 with a denomination of 20 Avos (2 Ho), is dedicated to Lu, the traditional Chinese symbol of prosperity, success, and good fortune. The coin beautifully reflects Macau’s unique cultural position at the crossroads of Chinese tradition and Portuguese heritage, making it both a meaningful and visually striking numismatic piece.

The obverse is dominated by a large, bold Chinese character “Lu”, rendered in high relief with clean, powerful strokes. The character is framed within a squared border, standing out against the deeply mirrored proof field. Above it appears the denomination “20 AVOS” along with Chinese characters indicating the value, while “澳門” (Macau) is placed below. The polished background enhances the sharp contrast between the frosted character and the reflective surface, emphasizing the symbolic importance of wealth and prosperity.

The reverse displays the Portuguese coat of arms, finely detailed with the central shield, smaller shields, and decorative elements clearly defined. Vertical line patterns surround the emblem, adding texture and balance to the composition. The inscriptions “REPÚBLICA PORTUGUESA” and “MACAU” curve along the rim, with the date “1985” below, all enclosed by a precise raised border.

Struck in silver with proof quality and certified PR69 by PCGS, this coin is an excellent choice for collectors of Chinese symbolism, Macau issues, and cross-cultural numismatics.
