Iconic Symbols Of Chinese Culture

The national symbol for China is the Giant Panda. With its adorable black-and-white fur, fat cheeks, big eyes, and delightful pigeon-toed way of walking, it's easy to see why. But long before Panda Bears became embroiled in world politics and conservation efforts, it was the dragon that was seen by the Chinese as the personification of their national identity. Now, both iconic symbols are at the heart of a new series that celebrates the Chinese Lunar Year.

Struck in 88 grams of highly pure 99.9% gold, this, this amazing piece of numismatic artistry depicts a mother panda and her cub huddled together while a ferocious-looking dragon coils every which way around them. To make the design even more emblematic of the new year, it features the Chinse character for â€Å“Fu,â€Â a symbol that is associated with peace and prosperity and prominently displayed in homes across China during the new year festivities.
