The 1979 China 35 Yuan Children’s Day silver Proof is one of the earliest modern commemorative silver coins issued by the People’s Republic of China. Struck at the Shanghai Mint, it celebrates China’s national Children’s Day and is prized for its charming and symbolic reverse design.

The obverse features a beautifully engraved view of the Great Wall, representing national strength, heritage and unity. Legend: 中华人民共和国 (People’s Republic of China) Date: 1979

The reverse shows two children planting flowers, symbolising growth, hope and the future of the nation. The scene is lively and optimistic, reflecting China’s cultural messaging of the late 1970s. Denomination: 35 元 (35 Yuan)

Proof examples display deep mirrored fields and frosted devices, giving the design excellent contrast and visual appeal.
