2024 China Silver & Gold Moon Festival Panda Ultra High Relief 3-pc Proof Set NGC PF70UC First Day of Issue

2024 Moon Festival Panda Proofs Celebrate Lunar Year Of The Dragon

Since its debut in 2015, China's incredible Moon Festival Panda series has been renowned for delivering beautiful, one-year-only designs that incorporate unique innovations that help celebrate the nation's Moon Festival holiday. This year is no exception because 2024 also represents the important Year of the Dragon within China's lunar zodiac calendar cycle. To celebrate this special lunar year, the 2024 Moon Festival Panada features the added element of a dragon slithering through a watery pass alongside a Panda bear dining on a bamboo chute beneath a hazy full Moon.

Engaging One-Year-Only Panda Design Struck In Ultra High Relief

Both sides feature Ultra High Relief designs, so all of the rich details literally leap from the medal's surfaces. The reverse features a mature Panda bear dining on a piece of bamboo beneath a full moon while a Chinese water dragon swims past. The watery portion of the design is made to look wet through the use of a unique "Enhanced Surface" striking method that produces a myriad of vibrant colors—ranging from cobalt blue to fiery yellow—when the Proof is seen at different angles. And for the first time since the series began, each piece is being struck at the Shanghai Mint—the birthplace of China Panda coin series. To denote this, the mint has added a special "S" mintmark to the obverse side. The obverse depicts a section of China's Great Wall along with an ancient Huntianyi (armillary sphere).

Perfect Panda Proofs From Among The First Issued

Though not comprised of legal-tender coins, this three-piece set consists of eight-ounce and 88-gram Pandas struck in highly pure 99.9% silver and a one-ounce Panda struck in 99.9% pure gold. They also come in absolutely gorgeous Proof condition that offers brilliant contrast between frosted images and mirrored fields. In fact, each 2024 China Moon Panda available in this offer has been graded by the Numismatic Guaranty Company (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. NGC further pedigreed these Panda medals with a First Day of Issue (FDI) certification, a designation that means they were received by NGC or an NGC-approved depository by the release date or on the business day within 24 hours of the official release date.
