Ultra High Relief Proof Condition
For a series this popular, standard relief simply wouldn’t cut it. That’s why these Silver and Gold China New Year Celebration Pandas have been struck in double-sided Ultra High Relief Proof condition! Each design presents beautifully frosted devices that sit incredibly high over mirrored fields for an outstanding level of contrast. To help accentuate that contrast, the one-year-only reverse features a concave (bowl-shaped) surface.
A First-Ever Struck in 99.9% Gold or Silver
For the first time ever, you can now secure New Year Celebration Panda Ultra High Relief Proofs in tradition Troy ounce weights and sizes. Options include one ounce of gold, 12 ounces of gold, two ounces of silver and 12 ounces of silver. All sizes and weights come struck in 99.9% pure gold or silver.
Due to the incredible success of this program and last year’s sell-out, this is the first time ever that two mints have collaborated to create these coins. Gold proofs come struck by the Shenzhen Guobao Mint, and silver proofs come struck by the New Century Mint. Each mint leveraged their expertise and minting technology to bring this series to life!
A limited number of sets are also available—and as a special bonus, these sets come with a Chinese Lunar Year of the Ox “luck and prosperity” note printed at the Shanghai Mint, tucked in an authentic Red Chinese gift envelope.
