Spectacular Year of the Dragon Moon Festival Panda® Proofs

Ultra-High Relief Strikes, Enhanced Surfaces, Lucky 8 Sizes, and Desirable Designations!

Spectacular Year of the Dragon Moon Festival Panda® Proofs
Ultra-High Relief Strikes, Enhanced Surfaces, Lucky 8 Sizes, and Desirable Designations!

It's really no surprise when you think about it. Since its introduction in 2015, the China Moon Festival Panda® series has been setting a very high bar for design innovations. The initial release started it all with pieces featuring space-flown gold. 2016 saw the introduction of the first Piedfort pieces. 2017 brought special holographic accents. 2018 and 2019 featured the first-ever White and Red Jade gemstone “Moons” embedded in the reverse. 2020 saw the first-ever titanium piece, 2021 brought us a Moon Festival Panda that featured a unique combination of both super incuse and high relief, and 2022 showcased a reverse design that included a metal finish on the Panda Bear and a special "Lucky-8" privy mark to celebrate the series’ eighth year of issue. Last year, collectors were treated to a Moon Festival Panda with a fantastic "shimmering effect" on the bamboo leaves and Moon portion of the designs, giving the illusion of color when viewed from different angles.

So, what's the design innovation this year, in 2024? Keep reading to find out.

Why Are the 2024 Moon Festival Pandas Spectacularly Amazing?
2024 Moon Festival Pandas boast impressive Ultra High Relief strikes rendered with a spectacular enhanced finishing process that results in a realistic, prism-like color effect that makes the water portion of the reverse design truly look wet! Plus, a water dragon makes a unique "cameo appearance" within the scene, a nod to the first time the Moon Festival Panda series has been struck during the Chinese Zodiac's Year of the Dragon.

What Is the China Moon Festival Anyway?
By commemorating the Moon Festival, also known as the Mid-Autumn Festival, these limited-edition collectibles honor one of the largest and most important holiday celebrations in China. This tradition can be traced back to the Zhou Dynasty over 3,000 years ago. Like Thanksgiving in the U.S., it's a time when families and friends across China gather to give thanks for the harvest bounty and pray for future blessings of longevity, family, and prosperity.

 

Struck in 99.9% Gold and Silver in Lucky “8” Sizes 
You have your choice of individual Moon Festival Panda Proofs struck in 888 grams, eight ounces, and one ounce of 99.9% gold, and eight ounces and 88 grams of 99.9% silver. Or you can combine gold and silver Pandas in a 2024 Moon Festival Panda 3-Piece Set, consisting of proofs struck in one-ounce gold, eight-ounce silver, and 88-gram silver.

The number “8”, represented in most specifications, is considered a lucky number in China and is often associated with major Chinese holidays.

All New One Year Only, Ultra High Relief Designs
Both sides of these 2024 Moon Festival Pandas were struck in Ultra High Relief (UHR), so all the rich detail from each image jumps from the proof's surface. The reverse depicts a Panda Bear munching on a leafy bamboo branch while sitting on a rock along a river with a hazy full Moon hovering in the night sky. A water dragon, representative of the 2024 Year of the Dragon, swims nearby.

On the obverse you’ll find a model of the ancient Chinese Huntianyi (armillary sphere), the Great Wall of China, the inscription "China Great Wall" in Mandarin Chinese, and the date, 2024.

 


Exquisite Proof Finish Offers a Higher Degree of Quality and Scarcity
Proofs like these are struck to a much higher standard of beauty, quality, and craftsmanship than circulated and uncirculated coins. Proof planchets (blanks) are specially treated, hand-polished, and cleaned to ensure high-quality strikes, then fed into presses fitted with specially polished dies and struck at least twice, unlike regular coins, which are struck only once. The extra strikes give proofs a glamorous shine and make intricate, razor-sharp details of the design pop against polished, mirror-like fields. While regular coins are struck on high-speed presses by the thousands, proofs are individually struck by highly skilled artisans focused on creating masterpieces.

Collectors love proofs not only because they're the best quality but also because their mintages are typically low.

The Famous "S" Mint Mark. A First for the Series!
These beautiful pieces are each struck at China's Shanghai Mint and include a small "S" mint mark on the bottom left side of the obverse.

2024 marks the first time in history that the Moon Panda series was struck at the Shanghai Mint. The Shanghai Mint is known for producing a portion of China's annual silver and gold Pandas in addition to other famed series like the New Year Celebration Panda Proofs and the Black Unicorn series. This mint was also “the birthplace of China’s Panda coin series” given this is where the first Panda coins were struck in 1982.

Certified Absolutely Perfect, with Special Designations
Through this exclusive offer, you can secure not just the best of the best, but also the first of the best! Each gold and silver 2024 Moon Festival Panda Proof comes graded by Numismatic Guaranty Company (NGC) in perfect Proof-70 Ultra Cameo (PF70 UC) condition and certified as a First Day of Issue (FDI) specimen, which means each piece was received for grading within 24 hours of the official mint release.

GovMint Worldwide Exclusive 
The Moon Festival Panda series is only available through GovMint!

Lucky Low Mintages. Very Low.
Mintages for these Moon Festival Panda Proofs are severely limited. Just eight 888-gram Gold Moon Festival Pandas were approved for production, along with only 15 eight-ounce gold, just 188 one-ounce gold, just 488 eight-ounce silver, and only 888 88-gram silver Moon Festival Pandas. Most of the mintages include an auspicious number according to Chinese folklore, as the number "8" is considered the luckiest number and is associated with good fortune.

These 2024 Moon Festival Panda mintages are just a fraction of the mintages of other China Mint annual Panda Proof and uncirculated releases. With so few proofs available, however, only a lucky few will ever get the chance to own one of these pieces.  

Look for yourself to see why these 2024 Moon Festival Panda Proofs will disappear quickly!
