2021 China 12-oz Silver New Year Celebration Panda Proof NGC PF70UC First Day of Issue w/Dragon Label
The Smash Hit Returns!
2020 marked the beginning of a new lunar cycle, and with it came an all-new series: the China New Year Celebration Panda. After selling out in just two days, the New Year Celebration Panda has returned in 2021 with an all-new reverse design. Struck in China, these proofs honor the Chinese New Year, also known as the Spring Festival — the most important holiday celebrated in China each year.
All-New Reverse Design
Though this New Year Celebration Panda is not legal tender, it was struck by the China Mint struck in TWELVE full ounces of highly pure 99.9% fine silver with an all-new reverse design. The spectacular design features three powerful Chinese images: a youthful panda bear, the Chinese symbol “Fu,” which is hung during the Spring Festival to help bring peace and prosperity in the new year, and a dragon dancer, often seen as part of Chinese New Year festivities. The obverse design of this Panda proof depicts the Great Wall of China. What’s more, this piece is struck with Ultra High Relief (UHR) detail on BOTH sides with a bowl-shaped concave reverse surface to help accent the amazing design and relief.
What’s more, each 2021 China Twelve-Ounce Silver New Year Celebration Panda Proof available here has been graded by the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC) as being in flawless Proof-70 Ultra Cameo (PF70UC) condition, a distinction that means these perfectly-graded proofs have ZERO imperfections — showing all features and fields exactly as the engraver and mint intended. In addition, NGC has certified that these proofs are First Day of Issue (FDI) releases, independent authentication that they were released by the mint during the premier day of the series’ issue.
