35th Anniversary of the Issuance of the Gold Chinese Panda Brass Medal.  Weighs approx 500g with mintage of 500.  Copper has the same mintage and silver has mintage of 99.  There is also a gold one with mintage of 9.  Not sure if it's the same size as that would make it 1kg in weigh or whether it is a reduced down 150g version.  I really like the back with the coins and temple.

This is a private medal from Shanghai CaiQi Travel Souvenir Co Ltd.  This is supposed to have been designed by Zhao Qiang (Rocky Zhao) who also designed the 2011, 2014, 2015 Gold Pandas as well as numerous other things from the Shanghai Mint.  It is rumoured that the owner of Shanghai CaiQi travel is an ex employee of the Shanghai Mint and the company leases workshop space from the Shanghai Mint.  No idea how accurate those rumours are.

This year we will be seeing some fiat commemorative Panda coins from the Peoples Bank of China and no doubt we'll also be seeing medals from CGCI as well as the official Mints themselves.

Yes I would have gone for a 1oz but wasn't paying that inflated price for all the extra junk. Shame really, why do they have to go down the RM proof Britannia route?

Created in Birmingham by @GoldBenj this 4oz silver bar was a birthday present for my father. It has the full Birmingham Assay office hallmarks. A beautiful paper weight or just fun to play with

The moment I saw it I fell in love with it. Perfect present for a loved one...

[Silverhunter]

How big can you go @GoldBenj?

[Guest]

That's great craftsmanship @GoldBenj 

 

[GoldBenj]

@Silverhunter I've had an order for a 5oz one from a friend on here for a while, just haven't had to time to do it yet, as soon as things settle down I'll be doing that. As the the size if it was to go much bigger I'd need to make a new model.

@RichRock Thank you!

Some Disney notes issued by China Golddeal Investment Co Ltd in collaboration with China Bank Note Printing and Minting Corporation.  Both state owned enterprises with the later being the corporation responsible for the minting of all renminbi coins and printing of renminbi banknotes for the People's Republic of China.

There is a lot of Disney stuff out there and I have only just found out that Disney is actually a minority share holder of Shanghai Disney Resort with the primary shareholder being a Shanghai Municipal Government Company.  No wonder there are so many official licenses being handed out.

 

Celebrating 90 Years of Dreams.  Here is the 1g gold one with unlimited issue.  There is also a 3g gold with an issue of 10,000 which I have manage to source and is winging it's way to me but the 5g with issue of 5000 is proving difficult.

 

2016 Celebrating Time 3g Gold and 3g Silver.  This one is quite sophisticated.  The paper note contains fluorescing water marks visible under UV light as you would expect with currency.  However, they have also included it with the gold and silver notes as well.  Crazy high issues with this one.  100,000 for the gold and over half a million (550,000) of the silver.

This bar with hallmarking is stunning. This is not a superlative, false flattery.
It is just a fact. This is the Sheffield bar but more beautiful. My mistake - much more beautiful.

Well here are the only 3 that actually received a grade from NGC. Like@numistacker ive had some dead slabs recently and this last batch of USA coins is the worst I've had. All beautiful coins, but I couldn't disagree more with certain "Artificial Toing" and "Improperly cleaned" designation.
