2022 China 2-oz Silver Golden Eagle Proof NGC PF70UC First Releases w/Pagoda Label

Low Mintage Golden Eagles Take Flight From China!

When collectors think about Chinese numismatic collectibles, those thoughts often go to Panda, Dragon, or Unicorn designs. But in 2021, a new Chinese animal-themed coin series burst onto the scene—one that sent ripples through the collector community! It was the China Golden Eagle, one of the most respected and revered animals in Chinese culture. And now it's back for a second year—even grander than before! Like last year, however, the authorized mintages are extremely small, Fortunately for you, we've snagged our allotment before they were dispersed into other markets, and we're making it available on a first-come, first-served basis.

Impressive High Relief Images Designed By "The John Mercanti Of China"

What really stands out on the 2022 year's edition is the design. It's the work of highly acclaimed Shanghai Mint artist Zhu Xihua, a man recognized for his world-class depictions of animals and mythical creatures on Chinese coinage. There are collectors in the United States who call him "The John Mercanti of China." Mr. Zhu's dramatic design shows a Chinese Golden Eagle soaring high above the Himalayan Mountains on this gorgeous one-year-only issue struck in two full ounces of highly pure 99.9% fine silver. Lifting the design to even greater heights is high relief that is nothing less than stunning! The obverse is equally impressive with its image of China's iconic Temple of Heaven with relief so high that it looks like you could walk up the steps to the temple!

Flawless Proofs From Among The First Issued

Not only has each medal been struck in gorgeous proof condition from hand-selected planchets, polished dies and multiple strikes to produce beautifully frosted details rising over mirror-like fields, but each has been graded by the Numismatic Guaranty Company (NGC) as being in flawless Proof-70 Ultra Cameo (PF70UC) condition. That means your perfectly-graded proof will have ZERO imperfections—showing all features and fields exactly as the engraver and mint intended. What's more, NGC has certified these proofs with a First Releases (FR) designation, meaning they were received by NGC or an NGC-approved depository within the first 30 days of the coin's release. This is a unique attribute on Chinese-struck coinage because special documentation must be obtained from the issuing Chinese mint to earn this designation—a process that can be challenging and tedious because of China's infamous Communist bureaucracy. In fact, we're the only company that can offer these Proofs with a First Releases designation! Each Proof will also come sonically sealed in a museum-quality acrylic slab with a white display core and encapsulated with a custom Pagoda label.
