China 35 yuan UNICEF Save the Children Child Year PF67 NGC silver coin 1979

The China 35 Yuan 1979 “Year of the Child” UNICEF silver coin is a meaningful commemorative issue dedicated to the International Year of the Child, highlighting themes of care, education, and a hopeful future. Issued by the People’s Republic of China, this coin combines strong humanitarian symbolism with refined proof-quality craftsmanship.

The reverse features a touching scene of two children engaged in nurturing activity. A young girl gently waters a blooming flower using a watering can, symbolizing care, growth, and compassion. Beside her stands a boy holding a shovel, representing work, responsibility, and support. Both figures are shown standing on grassy ground with carefully detailed clothing, hairstyles, facial expressions, and natural body proportions. Below the scene appear the denomination “35 元” along with commemorative emblems associated with the UNICEF theme.

The obverse displays the national emblem of the People’s Republic of China with five stars above Tiananmen Gate, surrounded by floral branches. The country name in Chinese characters and the date 1979 are placed on a mirrored background, creating a strong visual contrast.

Struck in silver with a Proof finish, this coin is certified by NGC as PF67 Ultra Cameo, confirming its excellent preservation and sharp visual appeal. As one of China’s early modern commemorative silver issues with an international humanitarian focus, it holds lasting historical and cultural value.
