The China 10 Yuan Beijing 2008 Olympics commemorative proof silver coin, issued in 2001, celebrates China’s successful bid to host the 2008 Summer Olympic Games in Beijing. This coin marks a historic moment when Beijing was officially selected as the Olympic host city, symbolizing national pride, international recognition, and China’s entrance onto the global sporting stage.
The reverse features a bold and highly distinctive design centered on a large gilded “V” shape, symbolizing victory. The surface of the “V” is decorated with repeating abstract human figures, representing athletes, unity, movement, and global participation. At the top appears the colorful Beijing 2008 Olympic bid emblem, with intertwined red, blue, green, black, and yellow elements. The inscriptions “2008 BEIJING” and “2001” are clearly engraved within the design, while surrounding Chinese characters identify the People’s Republic of China. The contrast between gold plating, colored enamel, and polished silver fields creates strong visual impact.
The obverse depicts the Temple of Heaven in Beijing, rendered in fine architectural detail with tiered roofs, columns, stairways, and surrounding terraces. Radiating sunburst lines extend upward behind the temple, emphasizing hope and celebration. Additional dotted textures and Chinese inscriptions frame the composition, with the denomination “10 元” placed below.
Struck in silver with proof quality, selective gilding, and color, this coin is a key collectible from China’s Olympic numismatic program. A meaningful addition for collectors of Olympic history, modern Chinese commemoratives, and culturally significant silver issues.
