Majestic Golden Eagles Designs by Zhu Xihua
Obverse: The Hall of Prayer for Abundant Harvests, one of the most popular attractions in Beijing's Temple of Heaven, features on the obverse. The circular, tiered structure is a stunning example of traditional Chinese architecture. At the bottom of the obverse is the date, "2021."
Reverse: Zhu Xihua's reverse design features three different looks at Chinese golden eagles. The largest is a closeup of the bird's head. Another shows one flying high above mountains, and the third is an eagle in silhouette upon a Chinese inscription. An inscription along the rim notes the medal's respective weight and purity.
Flawless PF70 UC FDI
Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC) graded all three medals in this set Proof 70 and certified them both Ultra Cameo (UC) and First Day of Issue (FDI). A grade of PF70 means that a piece looks perfect under 5x magnification. The UC certification is given to proofs that exhibit particularly sharp contrasts between heavily frosted devices and deeply mirrored fields. FDI is a designation reserved for pieces that were submitted for grading through an exclusive process. This three-piece set will arrive with a certificate of authenticity, a display box, a bi-lingual storybook describing the golden eagle, and a DVD of the "Eagle Hunter" documentary.
