2017 China Gold and Silver Panda Proof 35th Anniversary 2pc Set

A Gorgeous Proof Set for a Big Anniversary!

In 1982, the China Mint introduced the Gold Panda coin series to the world -- a debut that instantly became a smash hit with collectors. In the time since then, each year has delivered a new adorable design along with a wave of international demand. And now that China's government has removed restrictions on private gold ownership, these cute coins have also become a domestic sensation! Now, to celebrate the 35th anniversary of this iconic series, the China Mint is releasing a special two-piece silver and gold Panda proof set!

• TWO SHINING PROOF-MINTED COINS -- This set includes one coin struck in 15 grams of 99.9% pure silver and a coin minted in 5 grams of 99.9% pure gold. Both are expertly crafted by the China Mint from hand-selected planchets, polished dies and multiple strikes, producing beautifully frosted details rising over mirror-like fields.
• 35 YEARS OF GOLDEN REFLECTION -- The gold proof in this set delivers exactly what you're looking for -- a friendly portrait of a smiling panda! This irresistible face is minted over a holographic pattern of the series' 35 years between 1982 to 2017.
• SILVER IN MOTION! -- This set's silver proof also shows off the China Mint's ingenious craft with an accordion design of a cartoon panda. Nudge it from side to side and the Panda looks like it's moving! This clever creation is wreathed by rings and dates of the five-year eras within the coin's history.
• CHINA LEGAL TENDER -- Both proofs in the set are China legal tender -- five yuan for the silver, 80 yuan for the gold. Denominations for both are minted on the reverse of each coin, along with their respective weights and purities. Flip either proof over to discover the familiar Temple of Heaven design with the inscriptions of "The People's Republic of China" and "35th Anniversary of the Issuance of China Panda Gold Coins" in Chinese.
• STUNNING PACKAGING -- Both coins in this 35th Anniversary Panda Proof Set are individually secured in their own acrylic capsule, nestled inside the original China Mint box along with gorgeous match-numbered certificates of authenticity that are practically pieces of art themselves!
• EXTREMELY LIMITED SUPPLY -- Individually, the mintage of the silver proof has been limited to 200,000 and 50,000 for the gold proof. China Mint-assembled sets of both are even more limited, with the amount released internationally decreasing more each year as demand rises within the country.

Like we said, demand for these proofs has been increasing rapidly each year. With this 35th anniversary proof set piquing interest around the globe, we're expecting the sets in our vault to disappear quickly. Don't miss out on this opportunity to continue (or start) your Panda collection -- get one in your cart now!
