2020 China 8-gm Silver New Year Celebration BU w/Folder

The Chinese New Year Is Here – But These Coins Won’t Be For Long!

China’s New Year celebration begins January 25, 2020, and rings in the Year of the Rat. Also referred to as the Spring Festival, it’s a major Chinese holiday marked by a number of traditions, including the gifting of “lucky” money.

Now you can be a part of the celebration with this 8-Gram Silver 2020 3 Yuan Chinese New Year Celebration coin. Why 8 grams? Because 8 is considered a very lucky number in Chinese culture. And since it’s struck in 99.9% fine silver, it’s also a lucky find for your collection, as it bears a new one-year-only design.

The reverse presents the Chinese character “Fu,” meaning “good fortune and happiness” – a bit of well-wishing for you or the recipient of this coin – along with designs of a cave dwelling, Chinese lattice windows and the coin’s face value. The obverse displays the National Emblem of China. Plus, your 2020 China Eight-Gram Silver New Year Celebration coin will arrive displayed inside a colorful Chinese New Year booklet that also protects the coin.

To say this series is popular would be an understatement of epic proportions. While the mintage of 2.7 million coins seems like quite a sum, it was still an instant all-out at the mint! We were fortunate to score a few hundred coins from the mintage and are making them available on a first-come, first-served basis while our supply lasts. So, don’t wait, secure yours now!
