The China 5 Yuan 1990 “Treasures of the Bronze Age – Winged Creature” proof silver coin is a striking numismatic interpretation of ancient Chinese mythological art. Issued by the People’s Republic of China as part of the respected Bronze Age Finds Series, this coin draws inspiration from ritual bronze sculptures that blended animal power with mythical imagination. Struck in silver and produced in proof quality, the coin reflects exceptional minting precision and refined artistic depth.
The reverse features a dynamic winged creature depicted in a stylized archaic manner. The beast stands firmly on four clawed legs, with an open mouth, pronounced teeth, and expressive eyes, conveying strength and vigilance. Its body is richly decorated with swirling ornamental patterns typical of Bronze Age bronze reliefs. Large wings rise from its back, adding a mythological dimension associated with protection and supernatural authority. Above the design are Chinese characters referencing the Bronze Age series, while the denomination “5 Yuan” is displayed below. A beaded border frames the entire composition.
The obverse shows the national emblem of the People’s Republic of China, featuring five stars above Tiananmen Gate, encircled by wheat ears and a cogwheel. Beneath the emblem are Chinese inscriptions indicating Bronze Age cultural relics and the date 1990. The mirrored fields and frosted devices create strong visual contrast, emphasizing both symbolism and craftsmanship.
This Winged Creature coin is an excellent collectible for those drawn to ancient mythology, archaeological art, and high-quality Chinese proof silver issues.
