These Soaring Golden Eagles Escaped from China

Exquisite Gold and Silver Proofs Are Extremely Limited!

The popularity of this series was off the charts with its inaugural release last year. The series is back in 2022 with the second release, and it promises to be even more in-demand thanks to a truly remarkable new Zhu Xihua design—one of the most impressive depictions of an eagle in flight you’ll ever see! Xihua is legendary in Chinese numismatic circles, with many designs that are highly regarded among collectors and animal enthusiasts alike.

China’s Legendary Golden Eagles

Found throughout the Northern Hemisphere and particularly in the Himalayan Mountains, the Golden Eagle is among the largest of the Eagle species, known for its massive wingspan, beautiful brown coloring and use in falconry. In Chinese culture, these raptors are viewed as symbols of strength and heroism, and carry a mythical aura due to their long lifespan, hunting abilities and nimbleness.

Spectacular High Relief Design

What really stands out on this year’s edition is the design portraying a Golden Eagle soaring high above its native Himalayan Mountains habitat on the reverse. The detail is amazing, and you can make out each individual feather. The obverse is equally impressive with its image of China’s iconic Temple of Heaven.

Lifting these designs to even greater heights is incomparable high relief that is nothing short of stunning—especially on the silver Kilo piece which, because of its size, was struck in jaw-dropping ultra-high relief. It almost looks like two layers of high relief on one proof! On each of these medals, the Golden Eagle seems poised and ready to fly off the surface of the reverse, and you’ll struck by the feeling you could walk up the steps to the temple on the obverse!

Struck in 99.9% Gold and Silver

You have your choice of medals struck in one ounce of 99.9% gold, and in two ounces and one kilo of 99.9% fine silver. Or you can select a 3-Pc. Set consisting of all three pieces.

Magnificent Proof and Reverse Proof Finishes

Each Gold and Silver Proof has been specially manufactured using polished dies and selected planchets (blanks) to provide the desired mirror effect. The dies used to strike these Proofs also received a special process that allows for brilliant contrast between the frosty devices and polished backgrounds. The one-ounce gold features a reverse-proof finish on the eagle side—with mirrored raised elements and frosted backgrounds—which further enhances the design.

These Golden Eagles Are Perfect!

Collectors always want the best of the best for their collections. Coins and medals are graded on a 70-point scale, with a top 70 grade representing perfection, even under magnification. What you have here are the best of the best Golden Eagles, certified by the Numismatic Guaranty Company (NGC) as being in flawless Proof-70 Ultra Cameo (PF70 UC) condition. The Ultra Cameo (UC) designation means these Proofs possess intense contrast between the raised elements and backgrounds. Collectors seek out coins with the ultra cameo designation because they’re exquisite—of course—but also because there are fewer of them.

And They Have Sought-After, Hard-to-Obtain Designations!

In addition to being perfect, a limited number of these Golden Eagles have been certified by NGC with a First Day of Issue (FDI) designation—which means these pieces were struck on or before their official day of release. They will arrive sonically sealed in a museum-quality acrylic slab and encapsulated with a special Eagle label that certifies the FDI designation, which is a big deal. In fact, you can only get these Proofs with a First Day of Issue (FDI) designation here! The number of First Day of Issue proof coins is small compared to the overall population of proofs. These Gold and Silver Golden Eagle Proofs are not only the best of the best, they’re also the first of the best.
