Celebrate The First Five Years Of The Beloved Moon Festival Panda® Series. Since its debut in 2015, China’s Moon Festival Panda® series has captivated collectors around the globe. With one-year-only designs, unique finishes, and stunning artistry, this annual release has become a hallmark of modern Chinese numismatics. Now, for the first time ever, the complete decade of Moon Festival Panda designs is available in a series of exquisite Legacy Sets-each one honoring the innovation and tradition of this beloved series. Moon Festival Pandas Struck In Pure Silver. Though these medals are not legal-tender, every piece in this sumptuous set has been beautifully struck in a full Troy ounce of highly pure 99.9% fine silver and features detailed, artistic finishes unique to its release year-ranging from holograms and incused strikes to shimmering inks and gold-gilded moons. The common obverse of each piece depicts a model of an ancient Chinese armillary sphere, the Great Wall of China, an inscription that reads, “China Great Wall” in Chinese, and the year date. Privy Marks Included On Panda Proofs For The FIRST TIME Ever! And, to commemorate the original date that each Moon Panda design was released, the China Mint has added two-digit number privy marks to each piece that represents the year of release to each design. For example, the “15” privy mark stands for “2015, ” the “16” privy mark stands for “2016, ” and so on. This is the FIRST TIME a privy mark has been included on a Moon Panda Proof! Flawless Panda Proofs From China’s Shenzhen Mint. You’ll love examining these adorable little Pandas-each expertly crafted by the China Mint’s Shenzhen facility from hand-selected planchets, polished dies, and multiple strikes to produce beautifully frosted details rising over mirror-like fields. In fact, each piece in this 5-Piece set has been certified, graded, and encapsulated by the Numismatic Guaranty Company (NGC) as being in flawless Proof-70 Ultra Cameo (PF70UC) condition, a distinction that means these perfectly-graded Pandas have ZERO imperfections-showing all features and fields exactly as the engraver and mint intended! What Is The Moon Festival? Known as China’s Mid-Autumn Festival, the Moon Festival is one of the nation’s most cherished holidays. Celebrated for over 3,000 years, it’s a time of reflection, reunion, and giving thanks for life’s blessings-much like Thanksgiving in America. The moon itself is the star of the celebration-once the most accurate way for Chinese farmers to track time, seasons, and harvests. Each Moon Festival Panda design captures this spirit through rich symbolism, intricate detail, and modern minting mastery.
