1 oz Silver CRESTED IBIS China, People's Republic Coin PR68DCAM 1988 China
Own a piece of conservation and numismatic history with the 1988 China 1 oz Silver Crested Ibis Coin, graded PR68 by NGC. As the first release in China’s highly respected Endangered Wildlife Series, this proof coin celebrates the majestic crested ibis—a rare and sacred bird once believed extinct in China.
Struck in .999 fine silver, the obverse features a beautifully rendered image of the crested ibis in flight above a serene marsh landscape, symbolizing renewal, harmony, and the nation’s growing environmental awareness during the late 20th century. The reverse bears the National Emblem of the People’s Republic of China with the year of issue.
With its early release date, low original mintage, and cultural symbolism, this 1988 proof stands as a cornerstone piece for collectors of Chinese modern coins and wildlife-themed silver issues.
