1990 China Silver Phoenix & Dragon NGC PF69 2pc Set
1990 Phoenix & Dragon Proofs Rise Again
When these coins appear on the open market, headlines are made in the numismatic world. And now you can add them to your collection – but only if you order now!
Back in 1990, China released a program of commemorative coins known as the Phoenix and Dragon series. These coins were struck with extremely limited mintages, making them incredibly sought-after pieces today. They display an intricately sculpted design of a phoenix flying in an arc above a dragon. The obverse features the Great Wall of China.
Struck in 99.9% pure silver, just 12,000 one-ounce silver proofs and a scant 5,000 two-ounce silver proofs were released. That’s already a small mintage – but we’ve managed to locate a two-coin set containing BOTH of these legal-tender proofs! Plus, they are match-graded by Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC) to be in near-perfect Proof 69 (PF69) condition! These coins bear legal-tender denominations of 10 and 20 Yuan, respectively, and will look incredible in your personal collection.
- DESIGNS DEPICT POWERFUL CHINESE MYTHOLIGICAL CREATURES – These coins depict the two most powerful creatures in Chinese mythology: the dragon and the phoenix. The dragon is considered to be the most powerful and divine of all creatures. The Phoenix is different from the Western Phoenix that we know. While it does not rise from its own ashes, it is believed to be the messenger of happiness and is the mythical king of all birds.
- THREE OUNCES OF SHIMMERING SILVER – Combined, your coins consist of three ounces of shimming 99.9% silver expertly struck on at the world-renowned China Mint.
- LEGAL TENDER IN CHINA—The 1990 China Silver Phoenix & Dragon 2-Coin consists of a 1-oz silver coin that has a face value of 10 Yuan and a 2-oz silver coin that has a face value of 20 Yuan.
- NEAR FLAWLESS PROOF CONDITION – Your 1990 China Silver Phoenix & Dragon 2-Coin Set will be match-graded by NGC to be in Proof-69 (PF69) condition, a distinction that means your almost-flawless coins will showcase impressive full strikes and indistinguishable imperfections -- well above and beyond the quality of the vast majority of coins in the series.
- SMALL LIMITED EDITION – With just 12,000 one-ounce silver proofs, and only 5,000 two-ounce silver proofs, there are far too few of these coins to meet worldwide demand. This is especially true today. In 2004, the Chinese government removed an old 1949 law that actually prevented Chinese citizens from owning these silver coins. When the silver ownership law was finally changed, millions of China's prosperous new middle class buyers flooded into the market.
