It seems like a stacked treasure ship of four auspicious characters 招貝進寶 (寶 on top then from right to left進貝招) combined in one character.
Meaning; Ushering in wealth and prosperity
Traditional greeting esp. at New Year.
As of the bats on the both sides are recognized as good fortune, because the "bat" (fu  蝠)in Chinese sounds identical to the word for "luck" (fu  福)

With regards,
I.Nagy
