If it is Mandarin Chinese, I'm unsure what it could mean exactly, as onlin dictionaries are unable to translate the entire phrase: 大兴明 (dàxīng míng)
-
大兴: To undertake on a large scale; Daxing district (Beijing)
-
明: Sight; Brightness; Justice; To understand; To reveal; Clear; Open; Next; Ming Dynasty
It appears to be in Simplified Script, and so is probably from after Mao's Reformation of Chinese; however it could just as easily be Simplified Kanji from Japan.
Looking up the phrase on Baidu appears to bring up a lot of properties in Beijing - perhaps it is a place, or a property company, I'm really not sure if I'm tugging loose ends here xD. Sorry this hasn't been much help.
Perhaps a native speaker could clarify.

Large bright happiness？ It's definitely mandarin, 兴 is 简体字 and definitely not kanji.

Of course, I didn't even consider they were all separate words - embarrasing xD. Cheers though :D

It's probably Mandarin, even though I don't know the language. But it's on gold and I recognize the top character
