Features: The themes of new China's gold and silver coins are extensive, encompassing the essence of China's millennia-old civilization and the cultures of various ethnic groups. They include significant historical events, outstanding figures, cultural relics, ancient sites, ethnic cultures, scenic landmarks, rare animals, mythical characters, sports, and more, with countless examples. The profound meanings they convey are unmatched by other coin-producing nations. In terms of design, new China's commemorative coins have a unique national character. Designers integrate painting, portraiture, stone art, and modern sculptural techniques, combining main scenes with backgrounds to perfectly recreate the spiritual essence of original Chinese paintings through relief. The "China Panda Coin," a design that has won numerous gold medals, is a testament to the creators' ingenuity. It showcases the black and white fur of the panda on a single-color precious metal coin surface using an innovative "mirror surface reflection carving technique," creating a masterpiece with strong artistic appeal.
