Five Emperor Coins Charm

Five coins, from the five emperors of the Qing dynasty's most prosperous years.

Old Chinese coins are round with a square hole, the round standing for heaven and the square for earth, so to carry them is to carry a small balance of both. These five draw on the reigns of Shunzhi, Kangxi, Yongzheng, Qianlong, and Jiaqing, an era remembered for peace and plenty, which is why the string has long been kept for steady fortune and protection.

Hang it at the door, rest it in the wealth corner of a room, or keep it in your bag or car.

Placement: entry door, wealth corner, wallet, or car.
