This silver proof medal represents the first, and possibly the last, commemorative proof struck by the Shanghai Mint in the style of a historic cash coin. The Chinese government recently announced that production of non-legal tender commemorative coins would be discontinued. The Chinese cash coin was introduced in the 4th century BC, its design with a square hole at the center for creating and carrying "strings of cash" in higher denominations. This proof commemorative medal struck from 1 Troy oz. of .999 fine silver bears images of importance in Chinese culture, a Dragon and Phoenix, representing harmony and happiness.

Breath-taking Symbolic Imagery
A dragon and phoenix encircle the square hole on the reverse, while the obverse features an image of the Great Wall of China accompanied by the inscriptions "2018" and "AG 999 1OZ."
