Are calligraphy gold and silver coins still worth buying?

Autumn is approaching, and the traditional coin market off-season is about to pass.

However, the release of a new gold and silver coin project breaks this tradition and has the gold and silver coin market buzzing this summer.

The collecting atmosphere created by this set of gold and silver coins is as hot as the sun outside.

This set of precious metal commemorative coins is a Chinese calligraphy art (seal script) gold and silver coin.

It is the first set of gold and silver coins in the Chinese calligraphy art series.

There are 5 commemorative coins in this set, including 1 8-gram gold coin, 1 150-gram silver coin, and 3 30-gram silver coins, all of which are legal tender of the People's Republic of China.

Looking at this set of seal script gold and silver coins, it can be said that there are many highlights, and their collection and investment value are very outstanding.

This is specifically reflected in the following aspects.

First, the relatively small circulation combined with the favorable policies of exemption and reduction has greatly enhanced the scarcity of seal script gold and silver coins.

According to the "Chinese Calligraphy Art (Seal Script) Gold and Silver Coin Issuance Announcement" published by the People's Bank of China, the maximum circulation of 8-gram gold coins is only 10,000 pieces, 150-gram silver coins are only 5,000 pieces, and the three 30-gram silver coins are all 20,000 pieces.

Judging from the issuance scale of this project, it is a small and medium-sized project.

Among gold and silver coins with traditional cultural themes, such circulation is relatively small.

In order to maintain the market, management reduced the issuance, minting only 70% of the gold and silver coins with the largest circulation.

Because the art of Chinese calligraphy has a high degree of recognition and social influence in China, many people also like calligraphy.

Therefore, there are relatively many buyers for this set of seal script gold and silver coins.

Judging from the current market supply and demand, the scarcity of this set of gold and silver coins is already very obvious, which also gives it the foundation and conditions for a steady rise in the future.

Second, the aura of brand-new themes and traditional cultural themes enhances the collection appeal of seal script gold and silver coins.

Chinese calligraphy emerged with the emergence of oracle bone inscriptions and has a history of nearly 4,000 years.

It is one of the important parts of Chinese traditional culture.

However, in the history of precious metal commemorative coin issuance in my country, calligraphy themes have never been independently issued.

The Chinese calligraphy art series of gold and silver coins planned by the central bank to be issued in five groups will undoubtedly fill this gap.

The first set of seal script gold and silver coins issued this year is my country's first precious metal commemorative coin with calligraphy as the theme.

The new theme brings freshness to the market and collectors, and also injects vitality into the currently dull market.

Coupled with its special status as a traditional cultural theme, the collection appeal of this set of seal script gold and silver coins has been virtually enhanced.

Third, the first project in the series has an obvious leading effect.

According to the central bank's plan, the Chinese calligraphy art series gold and silver coins will be issued for five consecutive years, with each set of five specifications, including seal script, official script, regular script, running script, and cursive script.

Therefore, this year’s seal script gold and silver coins are undoubtedly the first in this series.

Judging from the general rules and experience of collections, the market performance and appreciation space of a series of leading currencies are often stronger than those of other members of the series.

We can find an example of this in the recent sharp rise in silver coin market prices in 2015.

Similar examples abound in other series of gold and silver coin projects.

At the same time, since the calligraphy art gold and silver coins are planned to be issued in five groups, better continuity of the series will also help the seal script gold and silver coins maintain a high level of attention for a longer period of time.

In addition, the gold and silver coins of calligraphy art, together with the gold and silver coins of Chinese opera art and Chinese Peking opera art, form the prototype of the Chinese traditional art section.

I believe that more members will join this section in the future, making its section effect more prominent.

Fourth, the breakthrough and original design greatly satisfies the aesthetic needs of collectors, making its ornamental value quite high.

The pattern design of this set of Chinese calligraphy (seal script) gold and silver coins issued this time has many remarkable features.

For example, the front design of the commemorative coin has been changed from the commonly used national emblem design to the word "China" in the gold inscription and the dragon pattern of the bronze as decoration. It not only gives people a refreshing feeling, but also fits well with the calligraphy theme of seal script.

It is even more integrated.

The four most representative calligraphy works of oracle bone inscriptions, stele inscriptions, stone drum inscriptions and stone carvings are selected on the backs of the five gold and silver coins respectively, which comprehensively, systematically and three-dimensionally displays the historical evolution of seal script.

On the basis of retaining the original historical appearance of these calligraphy works, the designer's ideas and creativity are added to make the entire design fuller and more layered.

The perfect combination of the artistic charm of calligraphy itself, precious metal materials and modern coinage technology creates a special beauty that is difficult to express in words.

In addition, AR (augmented reality) technology is used for the first time in the packaging of seal script gold and silver coins.

Collectors can scan the QR code and download the relevant APP (for details, see the relevant article on China’s gold coins on WeChat) to obtain a comprehensive introduction to this set of seal script gold and silver coins and seal script related knowledge.

The animation and sound effects bring us a visual and auditory impact, making us feel like we have traveled through time and space and come to a world of calligraphy.

In addition, collectors can also take photos with commemorative coins through the photo function, thereby achieving excellent effects of coin appreciation, entertainment, and interaction.

Fifth, innovative marketing methods have completely activated the enthusiasm of collectors, and also allowed seal script gold and silver coins to fully accumulate in the market.

Compared with the past, the sales of seal script gold and silver coins are very different.

China Gold Coin Online Mall and China Gold Coin Corporation Direct Sales Center allocate a considerable proportion of this set of gold and silver coins for sale in batches.

This way of controlling the pace of supply stabilizes market expectations on the one hand and minimizes the impact on the market on the other.
