2021 Tuvalu 5 oz .9999 Silver Fu Lu Shou Coloured Antiqued Coin - Perth Mint

In traditional Chinese culture, Fu, Lu and Shou represent the gods of three  auspicious heavenly bodies. Collectively known as Sanxing, or Three Stars, their  human forms have been portrayed by artists since the Ming Dynasty in a variety  of media, including paintings, stone, porcelain and woodblock prints celebrating  New Year. Prominently displayed in many homes, from the Imperial Palace to the  peasant’s hut, the figures embody attributes considered essential to personal  happiness – prosperity, success and longevity.
