RAT DESIGN CONCEPT + MESSAGE
This is the 6th years of the classical and original Lunar panda series - RAT. The design concept always consistent "happy lunar family". Rat is the first Lunar of the 12 lunar so it is important of owning one of the medal in China Zodiac.

The China rat is belong to "Rhizomyidae" categories species that live in southern areas of China. This year we took the auspicious "Shu Zhao Feng Nian" concept which bless you for the Lunar Chinese New Year of 2020. Overall, this bless us in prosperous & Peaceful year ahead. Therefore, all types of rice, oat & fruits with 5 rats are designed - mother, father with "3" kids. Rats always link with "5" in China for many auspicious words. Moreover, the minor ethnic group of China always with more than 2 Kids. The ageing Population of China which they might open up the policy of having 3 kids for all in future. They just open up the policy of 2 kids in year of 2017(roaster).   


PANDA DESIGN CONCEPT + MESSAGE
As you guy aware which this lunar panda series design concept always link with global and China development because panda is the diplomatic of China. Therefore the second message of this year panda is !!!!! Let recap the 1st till 5th years panda message before we go to this 2020 panda design.

2015 the 1st year "Lunar Goat Panda" - The "diplomat panda" which symbol of friendship with foreign countries in diplomatic occasions to kick start the series.

2016 the 2nd year "Lunar Monkey Panda" - The "sitting panda" to guard China and eager to visit the world.

2017 The 3rd years "Lunar Roaster Panda" - The "walking panda" brings us the message of "Panda" is going to the world by bringing the friendship message.

2018 The 4th years "Lunar Peiking Dog Panda" - The "playful panda" which open up the door of Great Wall and welcoming all the friends globally for fun playing.

2019 The 5th years "Lunar Pig Panda" - The "Retro panda" a bridge and platform between Fiat and Non fiat coins Panda coins at equal status which hoping USA and China trade war can discuss in open and equal platform. The 2019 panda fiat coin concept is "延续人文关怀 -母子亲情，天之大伦." The 2019 Panda non fiat coin by Shenyang concept is similar "延续人文关怀 -父子亲情，天之大伦." Fiat coin is all about "mother love" in turn the non fiat coin by Shenyang is all about "father love". Chinese call this "Yin" and "Yang" which represent "mother" and"father". This is the so call equal platform of fiat and non fiat coin.

2020 - The 6th years "Lunar Rat Panda" - The "Happy & serene panda" to standby and withstand the coming future regardless it is good or/and bad in current global uncertainty. Optimistic and go happy rather than worrying so much as long as there is a good family accompany you.

Classical & original Panda Lunar series - Rat 2020 鼠兆丰年

This is the 6th years for the Classical & original Panda Lunar series by Shenyang mint sponsor by me. Half of the lunar cycle has been achieved with 62 g silver and 50g gold variety.

I will post another thread which stated the history from goat if some of you new to the series and love to know the background and design concept. Non fiat coin is an art not a pieces of metal else it will not call a premium price on it. Every art pieces has the design concept and inspiration rather than just a drawing. Some view grading results as quality which is not all factors for me. You need to take many factors into consideration of a quality. Design, grading result, design concept and inspiration, minting technology, story of the series and others.

Some will low release price as potential even the design is ugly. Germany and USA can call a premium on their products due to they are in highest of the value chain of the product line instead at lowest level of OEM manufacturing or/end copycat product. Copycat product can survive as it is with mass demand and general consumer products. However, it is not to art products which is in niche and high end market. Thus, you need to identify the differences and nature of it. Penny share or blue chip share to buy. It is really an individual preference.

Here the design of panda rat 2020 which member view only. Another few days public can view it. As usual, the design concept ,inspiration and story will disclose as soon as possible here.
