2023 China Silver & Platinum Panda 2-pc Set NGC PF70UC First Releases w/Shenzhen Mint Identification, Panda Label & Tong Signature

China’s 2023 Silver & Platinum Panda Proofs Are Here!

Beloved for its precious metal content and intricate designs that change each year, the Chinese Panda series remains one of the world’s most celebrated coin programs. First released in 1982 and building in popularity every year since, the China Mint’s Panda coins are now among the most popular on the planet. There’s no time like the present to secure a piece of this global phenomenon!

One-Year-Only Design Is Fifth Year Of “Series Within A Series”

Here you’ll receive a two-piece set that consists of one coin struck in 150-grams of highly pure 99.9% fine silver and another struck in 3 grams of highly pure 99.95% platinum. Both feature a new design created by Chinese coin designer Tong Fang, a China Mint designer who has created many one-year-only designs for China’s Panda Series. Ms. Fang’s design for the 2023 Panda coin features a pair of playful young Panda bears—twins perhaps?—playing in a tree. They’re shown facing each other, one in the tree and one below, extending their paws as if one is offering the other a “hand” up in the tree. A special addition to this year’s 150-gram coin is the addition of selective colorization that can be seen in the leaves of the tree. This is the fifth year of the China Mint’s 10-year “series within a series” where collectors get to watch a Panda grow from a cub to adulthood. The obverse displays the Hall of Prayer for Abundant Harvests located in Beijing’s Temple of Heaven. It is encircled by the phrase “People’s Republic of China” in Chinese along with the 2023 year date.

Flawless Proof Condition!

These remarkable coins are even more spectacular due to their Proof finish. They were expertly crafted by the skillful artisans at the China Mint from hand-selected planchets, polished dies and multiple strikes to produce beautifully frosted details rising over mirror-like fields! Magnificent only begins to describe these breathtaking treasures! In fact, each coin in this 2023 Silver & Platinum Two-Piece Set Panda has been graded by the Numismatic Guaranty Company (NGC) as being in flawless Proof-70 Ultra Cameo (PF70UC) condition, a distinction that means your perfectly-graded proofs have ZERO imperfections—showing all features and fields exactly as the engraver and mint intended.

Panda Coins From Among The First Released Signed By The Coin’s Designer!

In addition, NGC has also certified that these proofs are First Releases (FR) coins, a designation that means your coins were received by NGC or an NGC-approved depository within the first 30 days of their release. Plus, each will come sonically sealed in an acrylic holder with a mint-identifying label that shows it was struck at the China Mint’s Shenzhen facility. To top it off, the mint identification labels feature a Panda design and have been personally signed by the coin’s designer, Tong Fang! The coins will also come beautifully housed in a deluxe wooden presentation case and accompanied by numbered Certificates of Authenticity from the mint and a panda coin storybook.

Since 2016, China’s legendary Panda coins have been issued in metric weights, setting themselves apart from other coins minted around the world. In addition, simply acquiring one of these coins can be extremely difficult due to the fact that demand for them within China’s borders has skyrocketed, making them harder to find outside of the country. The mintage for 2023’s 150-gram Silver Panda has been set at just 30,000—that’s HALF the mintage from 2022—while the mintage for the 3-Gram Platinum Panda has been set at just 30,000—and only 15% of the mintage is available outside of China!

No matter what your reasons are for collecting these fabulous coins, now is the time to bring a 2023 China Panda home to your collection!
