Produced by the Shenzhen Guobao Mint for the 2012 ANA World’s Fair of Money in Philadelphia, this substantial commemorative medal contains 5 troy oz of .999 fine silver and features an impressive Proof finish. Limited to only 2,500 pieces, the medal brings together Chinese Panda collecting and American numismatic history in a specialized show issue complete with its presentation box and Certificate of Authenticity.
The American Numismatic Association (ANA) has held major conventions for collectors and the numismatic industry for generations, with its annual World’s Fair of Money developing into one of the most prominent coin shows in the United States. The event brings together collectors, dealers, grading services, auction houses, mints, and numismatic organizations while providing opportunities to view important coins, explore new releases, attend educational programs, and participate in the broader collecting community.
Special medals have long been associated with major numismatic conventions. Chinese mints produced Panda medals connected with earlier ANA conventions during the 1980s, including issues associated with New York in 1986, Atlanta in 1987, Cincinnati in 1988, and Pittsburgh in 1989. After a lengthy break, the tradition returned in 2012 for the ANA World’s Fair of Money in Philadelphia.
