Celebrate The Year of the Ox With A Unique Blossom-Shaped Coin
After a tumultuous 2020 racked by pandemics, wildfires, earthquakes and more, a return to a slower-paced life is a much needed respite. And what could better represent a slow and steady life than the Ox. The second sign in the Chinese Lunar Calendar, the Ox is a powerful and balanced animal that always find a way to get back on its feet even during difficult times. What better symbol could be depicted for 2021? And that’s just the image you’ll find on this Year of the Ox Blossom-Shaped Silver Proof from China!
Rugged Ox Design Powerfully Lumbers Into 2021
Struck in 30 grams of highly pure 99.9% fine silver, this exquisite coin evokes a fluid tranquil motion with its curved blossom shape. It depicts a stylized version of a strong and powerful ox, his head down intent on the task at hand. The coin’s obverse features China’s national emblem, year date, and the words “Year of the Ox” in Mandarin Chinese. Each 2021 China Thirty-Gram Silver Year of the Ox Blossom-Shaped Proof was expertly crafted by the world-famous China Mint from hand-selected planchets, polished dies and multiple strikes to produce beautifully frosted details rising over mirror-like fields. Each will also come beautifully housed in an official mint box and accompanied by a mint-issued Certificate of Authenticity.
In fact, each 2021 China Thirty-Gram Silver Year of the Ox Blossom-Shaped Proof available in this offer has been graded by the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC) as being in flawless perfect 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 Releases (FR) coins, a designation that means they were received by NGC or an NGC-approved depository within the first 30 days of their release. Collectors seek out these coins because they are produced with new dies and considered to have sharper strikes and deeper mirrors than those that are struck later.
Chinese Demand Means Few of the Coins are Available
Though the 30-gram Silver Blossom-Shaped Year of the Ox Proof has a limited edition of 50,000, it’s anticipated that most of this mintage will be quickly absorbed by China’s domestic market.
