The Design
This inaugural-year Golden Eagle showcases the reverse design by renowned Chinese coin artist Mr. Zhu Xihua.
It features a powerful close-up profile of a Golden Eagle, while a second eagle soars in the background above its natural landscape.
In Chinese culture, the eagle symbolizes strength, courage, and heroism. Complementing the imagery are the coin’s face value and the inscription “1 oz Au .999,” denoting its weight, metal content, and purity.
The obverse features China’s revered Temple of Heaven, a symbol of harmony and tradition, paired only with the year of mintage, “2021,” for a clean, elegant finish.
