Japanese Lucky Cat Maneki-Neko Coin – Novelty Collectible

A symbol of prosperity and good fortune from Japanese tradition. This dual-sided commemorative coin features the iconic Maneki-neko (beckoning cat) with vibrant enamel artwork and delicate cherry blossom details on the front. The reverse displays traditional Chinese prosperity symbols. The gold finish with colorful enamel accents captures the cheerful spirit of this beloved lucky charm.

About the Design

The Maneki-neko, or "beckoning cat," is one of Japan's most recognizable symbols of good luck and prosperity. Originating in the Edo period (1603-1868), these figurines are traditionally displayed in shop windows and homes to attract customers, wealth, and good fortune. The raised paw beckons fortune to come closer—a left paw raised attracts customers, while a right paw (as shown here) invites wealth and good luck. The bell around the cat's neck is believed to ward off evil spirits. Cherry blossoms (sakura) represent the beauty and transience of life in Japanese culture, blooming briefly each spring in a celebrated national event. The prosperity symbols on the reverse connect to Chinese traditions of wealth and abundance. The gold plating with colorful enamel accents and dimensional relief give the coin the feel of a cheerful lucky charm rather than a modern mint issue, making it suited for novelty display collections and Japanese culture-themed cabinets.
