China's national treasure

The giant panda is the symbol of China and one of the best-loved animals in the world. It lives in the mountain bamboo forests of central China and spends almost all day eating bamboo. Thanks to decades of protection its numbers are growing, and the panda has become a worldwide symbol of nature conservation. This is the fifth coin of the Big Five of Asia series by P. De Greef.

Coin design

On the reverse the panda looks straight at the viewer, holding a bamboo sprig in its mouth. The thick fur, round ears and dark eye patches have a clear, sculpted texture, with bamboo stems rising in the background. Each coin carries its individual number on the edge. The design is struck in ultra high relief – rising clearly above the surface of the thick 5-ounce coin – and the antique finish brings out depth and detail. Around it are HAUT RELIEF, 5 OZ .999 AG, the year 2025 and the signature P. DeGreef.

The obverse features the coat of arms of Côte d'Ivoire with an elephant's head, palm trees and a rising sun, RÉPUBLIQUE DE CÔTE D'IVOIRE, the year 2025 and the face value 5000 FRANCS CFA.

Packaging

The coin comes in an elegant wooden box with a certificate of authenticity.

The Big Five of Asia collection

The series began with the Tiger (2021), followed by the King Cobra (2022), the Orangutan (2023), the Philippine Eagle (2024) and the Panda (2025), and it closes with the Completer coin (2026). Each coin is a high-relief masterpiece in its own right, and together they form one of the most striking sets on the market.
