Certified China Unicorn One Ounce 2019 25th Anniversary PF70 NGC

This 2019 China Unicorn 25th Anniversary Silver Medal marks a significant milestone for the Chinese Unicorn series, celebrating 25 years of this distinctive and culturally rich program. Struck in one troy ounce of .999 fine silver, this official mint issue has been certified a flawless PF70 Ultra Cameo by NGC, denoting perfect preservation and exceptional contrast between its mirrored fields and frosted design elements. The First Day of Issue designation confirms its early release status, while the label is enhanced by an authentic hand-signed signature from coin designer Song Fei, adding further collectible appeal.

The obverse (primary design) features the Great Wall of China sweeping across rugged terrain, rendered in high relief with a distinctive square center cutout reminiscent of traditional Chinese cash coins. This central void is a deliberate design element, symbolizing historical currency forms and continuity within Chinese numismatic heritage. The inscription “2019” and “1 oz Ag .999” confirm the medal’s year, weight, and purity.

The reverse presents a dynamic pairing of mythical creatures: a traditional Chinese qilin alongside a Western-style unicorn, both surrounded by stylized clouds. This dual depiction represents a fusion of Eastern and Western mythology, symbolizing harmony and cultural connection. The intricate engraving captures fine details in the creatures’ musculature, scales, and flowing manes, all enhanced by the deep cameo proof finish.

With its perfect PF70 Ultra Cameo grade, First Day of Issue designation, and designer signature, this medal stands as a premium modern collectible. Its unique design concept, historical symbolism, and limited appeal within the niche Unicorn series make it especially desirable for collectors seeking something beyond traditional Panda issues
