2020 China 5-gm Silver 600th Anniversary of the Forbidden City Proof NGC PF69UC First Releases

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 the exquisite five-gram silver coin that features a fierce Qilin, or Chinese Unicorn. The Qilin is regarded as a benevolent creature whose appearance is regarded as an auspicious sign. This legal-tender 2 Yuan coin was also struck in highly pure 99.9% fine silver! What’s more, this is the China Mint’s FIRST-EVER 5-gram, 99.9% fine silver coin. Since “firsts” are always important to collectors, the fact that this new weight is being struck for a culturally important event just adds to the already high demand for this coin.

Not only is each coin available in this offer official legal tender in China, but each comes in Proof condition with frosty devices and mirrored fields. In fact, each 2020 China Five-Gram Silver 600th Anniversary of the Forbidden City Proof in this offer has been graded by the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC) as being in near-perfect Proof-69 Ultra Cameo (PF69UC) condition, a distinction that means these almost-flawless coins showcase impressive full strikes and indistinguishable imperfections — well above and beyond the quality of the vast majority of coins in the series. In addition, NGC has certified that these proofs are First Releases (FR) coins, a designation that means these coins were received by NGC or an NGC-approved depository within the first 30 days of their release.

The availability of these products outside of China cannot be overstated. In fact, only 20,000 coins — just 1% of the entire mintage — is being made available outside China! Don’t wait; hurry and secure yours now!
