Six Chinese City Enamel Medals
Goal: Create a 2-by-3 collector display of exactly 6 commemorative hard-enamel cloisonné city medals for {argument name="country" default="China"}, photographed as an overhead flat lay on an antique brown map background with faint Chinese calligraphy and old cartographic lines.
Canvas: Vertical poster composition, six equal panels separated by thin pale divider lines, each panel showing one circular medal centered with soft realistic shadows. Warm museum lighting, high detail, macro product photography look.
Medal style: Every medal is round with a raised polished gold metal rim, ornate twisted rope border, embossed gold dividers between vivid enamel color fields, jewel-like glossy fills, bas-relief skyline and landmark details, and tiny decorative flowers near the lower inscription band. Use a premium commemorative coin/medallion aesthetic, not flat illustration.

City names should be {argument name="city set" default="Beijing, Shanghai, Hangzhou, Lijiang, Xi’an, Chengdu"}.
Visual style: Ultra-detailed realistic product render, embossed metallic gold, glossy enamel, saturated city-specific colors, intricate miniature architecture, antique travel-collector mood, shallow relief casting natural shadows. Background should be {argument name="background surface" default="aged parchment map with Chinese calligraphy"}. Use {argument name="lighting style" default="warm overhead museum lighting"}.
Constraints: Exactly 6 medals and no extra medals. Maintain the 2-column by 3-row grid. Do not crop the medals. Avoid modern logos, watermarks, hands, packaging, or blank panels. Preserve the ornate rope border and gold separators on every medal.
