New 2024 Gold and Silver China Gold Panda Proofs! 
One-Year-Only Reverse Design Features a Stunning Shimmering Color Effect!

 

Here you have two series that are among the most collected, most highly anticipated annual issues for collectors around the world: China's Gold Pandas, first released in 1982, and China's Silver Pandas, first released the next year.

 

Overwhelming Demand!
For the past 20 years, there’s been no hotter coin market in the world than China. Why? Two reasons. First, in 2004 the Chinese government changed their laws to allow Chinese citizens to own precious metal coins. And second, the Chinese middle class has exploded, growing to a population larger than the entire U.S., exhibiting the hunger for, and the means to acquire, the national coins. As a result, there’s been an explosion in demand for Chinese coins—and China Pandas have led the way. Want proof? Just for example, look at how the mintages for one-ounce Silver Pandas have increased, averaging 149,000 coins minted during each of the first seven years (1989-1995), to 10,000,000 30-gram silver coins in 2017 and beyond. That’s a whopping increase of 6,611%!

 

New One-Year-Only Design—the “Series within a Series”
Each new year brings a new one-year-only reverse design to the Gold Panda series. But starting in 2019, those designs became a “series within a series,” allowing collectors to view a panda cub growing into maturity. This year marks the sixth year of the China Mint’s new “cycle” of Panda designs. 

 

This 2024 one-year-only reverse depicts a delightful, heart-warming design of a Mother Panda Bear playing with her young cub. As always, the China Panda obverse depicts the Hall of Prayer for Abundant Harvests in the Temple of Heaven (in Beijing) encircled by the phrase "People's Republic of China" in Mandarin Chinese completed with the year of issue, 2024.



Spectacular Panda Proofs with COLOR! 
In 2023, the China Mint issued their world renown annual Panda series coins with a prism-like color element for the first time! Because of technological limitations, this special “shimmering effect” could only be added to the largest-sized coins in the assortment. In 2024, the mint is issuing THE ENTIRE size assortment with this beautiful color feature—and it looks even more spectacular than last year!

 

What’s So Great About Proofs?
Struck at China’s Shenzhen Mint in far fewer numbers than uncirculated coins, Panda Proofs are minted to a much higher standard of beauty, quality, and craftsmanship. 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 Pandas are struck on high-speed presses by the thousands, Proof Pandas are individually struck by highly skilled artisans who are creating numismatic masterpieces. Collectors love proofs because they’re the best quality, and also because of their relative scarcity compared to circulated and non-proof coins.

 

Struck in 99.9% Gold and Silver
Legal-tender Gold Panda Proofs are available in 99.9% gold in kilo, 150-grams, 100-grams and 50 grams sizes. Silver Panda Proofs struck in 99.9% fine silver are available in kilo and 150-gram sizes. Proof gold and silver Panda coinage is larger than the uncirculated versions (which top out at 30 gram sizes). The 150-gram and kilo sizes in particular, represent the largest gold and silver Panda-series coins issued by the China Mint each year. Their large diameter and impressive heft make them a unique showpiece in your Panda coin collection.

 

Certified Perfect with Special Designations
Collectors only want the best of the best for their collections, and so we’re offering these coins certified by NGC as flawless Proof-70 Ultra Cameo (PF70 UC) condition. Coins are graded on a 70-point scale, with a top 70 grade representing perfection, even under magnification. The Ultra Cameo (UC) designation means these coins possess an intense frosted finish on both sides of the coin, with highly polished fields accenting the raised elements. 

In addition to being flawless, your coins will arrive NGC-certified with a First Releases designation, which means they have been received for grading within 30 days of release from the mint. 


But There’s More—Hand-Signed Signature Labels
Further, every one of these flawless, designated coins will arrive encapsulated with a label that features the hand-signed signature of AMS ambassador and former Shanghai Mint and Shenyang Mint Director Peter Gu. Mr. Gu is highly respected in China’s numismatic industry and was responsible for many of the innovations and production processes used by China’s national mints today. This is the first program featuring a Mint Director from any of China’s national mints signing an NGC label intended for the North American market.


Don’t Forget the Extras!
In addition…each coin is accompanied by an official mint certificate of authenticity, a booklet on Panda coinage, and a deluxe wooden presentation case designed to hold an NGC-graded specimen. The original mint box will also be included for the coin’s provenance.

Chinese-minted coins can be difficult to find outside of China, and beyond that, these beautiful coins have limited mintages. Just 1,000 kilo gold, just 10,000 150-gram gold, just 20,000 100-gram gold, just 30,000 5-gram gold, just 10,000 kilo silver and just 30,000 150gram silver proofs were authorized.
