2023 China 5-oz Silver Golden Eagle Proof NGC PF70UC First Day of Issue w/ Black Core & Eagle 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 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 third year—and more impressive than ever! Like past years, 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”

Once again, the 2023 edition is 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 intensely dramatic design shows a highly detailed profile portrait of a powerful Chinese Golden Eagle, its feathers blending seamlessly into the dramatic mountain landscape in the background. Flying high above the mountain peaks is another eagle, its wings spread wide, and its talons outstretched as if it is coming in for a landing—or about to snatch an unsuspecting critter for its next meal!

Though not a legal-tender coin, this gorgeous one-year-only issue was struck in five full ounces of highly pure 99.9% fine silver. Lifting the design to even greater heights is ultra 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
