600th Anniversary of China’s Forbidden City

2020 marks the 600th anniversary of China’s most historical landmark — the Forbidden City. Built during the Ming Dynasty in the 15th century, this compound is China’s best-preserved imperial palace, as well as the largest ancient wooden palatial structure in the world. More than 980 buildings and more than 8,728 rooms make up the Forbidden City, as well as beautiful traditional Chinese architecture and statues.

To celebrate this historic anniversary, the China Mint has struck a variety of commemoratives for you to add to your collection. In this offer you can secure a two-piece gold and silver set that features a pair of fantastic designs. The first coin is a 2 Yuan silver commemorative struck in five grams of highly pure 99.9% fine silver that features a fierce Qilin, or Chinese Unicorn. The Qilin is regarded as a benevolent creature whose appearance is regarded as an auspicious sign. The second coin is 50 Yuan gold coin struck in three grams of 99.9% gold that features a crane.
