China 10 yuan White Dolphin Wildlife Marine Fauna PR 69 PCGS silver coin 1997

China 10 Yuan 1997 Silver Coin is a refined issue from the Wildlife Marine Fauna series, dedicated to the Chinese white dolphin — a rare and symbolic marine mammal associated with purity, harmony, and good fortune. Struck in proof quality, this silver coin highlights China’s commitment to nature themes through elegant design and balanced composition, making it an attractive choice for wildlife and marine-life collectors.

The reverse depicts three Chinese white dolphins swimming gracefully through stylized water currents. One dolphin is shown leaping upward, while two others glide beneath the surface, creating a dynamic circular motion. Smooth, flowing lines represent waves and currents, enhancing the sense of movement and tranquility. The dolphins’ streamlined bodies, rounded heads, fins, and tails are rendered with soft frosted relief against mirrored fields. Along the upper rim appears the bilingual inscription identifying the species, while the denomination “10 元” is placed to the right, integrated cleanly into the scene.

The obverse features the national emblem of the People’s Republic of China, with five stars above Tiananmen Gate, encircled by a wreath of grain, ribbon, and cogwheel elements. The country name in Chinese characters surrounds the upper rim, with the year “1997” positioned clearly at the bottom. Polished fields contrast beautifully with matte details, emphasizing depth and clarity.

Struck in silver and certified PCGS PR69, this coin represents high-quality modern Chinese minting and carries strong appeal for collectors of marine wildlife, endangered species, and certified proof silver issues.
