Description: Dragon & Phoenix 35th Anniversary 2024 2 oz Fine Silver Proof Coin NGC PF70UC First Day of Issue w/Zeng & Yu Signed Label -China China’s Time-Honored Symbol Of Harmony Within the Chinese culture, two symbolic beasts rise above all others: the dragon and the phoenix. Seen as two parts of a whole, these celestial creatures have united in a symbol of harmony that dates back centuries. The dragon, a symbol of power and good fortune, was frequently used as a symbol for the Chinese emperor. The phoenix, on the other hand, represents beauty and luck—ideas associated with the empress. Together, the dragon and phoenix are symbolic of yin and yang, circling each other in an endless collaborative quest for the flaming pearl of enlightenment and wisdom. The timing to revisit this theme could not be better with the arrival of the Year of the Dragon in 2024—and this limited-edition medal not only does just that, but it also celebrates the 35th anniversary of the original 1989 China Dragon & Phoenix release! Beautiful Design Celebrates Series’ 35th Anniversary Struck by China’s prestigious New Century Mint in two ounces of highly pure 99.9% fine silver, this fascinating medal shows a dragon and phoenix suspended in the air with auspicious clouds swirling around them. The design is as intricate as it is pleasing to the eye. In fact, each medal available in this offer has been graded by the Numismatic Guaranty Company (NGC) as being in flawless Proof-70 Ultra Cameo (PF70UC) condition, a distinction that means these perfectly-graded proof medals have ZERO imperfections—showing all features and fields exactly as the engraver and mint intended. In addition, NGC has further pedigreed these medals with a First day of Issue (FDI) certification, a designation that means they were received by NGC or an NGC-approved depository by the release date or on the business day within 24 hours of the official release date. Encapsulated With A Label Personally Signed By The Designers What’s more, each medal will come sonically sealed in a museum-quality acrylic holder and encapsulated with a label that has been personally by Mr. Zeng Chenghu and Mr. Yu Min, two of China’s most famous coin designers who both took part in this special 35th anniversary commemorative Proof release. These coins will also come beautifully housed in a deluxe presentation case along with a numbered mint Certificate of Authenticity and a colorful story card on the 35th Anniversary of the original China Phoenix & Dragon release.
