The China set of 4 silver coins “Games of the XXIX Olympiad – Series III”, issued in 2008, is a vivid artistic tribute to the Beijing Olympic Games and the richness of traditional Chinese culture. Each coin has a face value of 10 Yuan and belongs to the official Olympic commemorative program of the People’s Republic of China.

The obverse of every coin features a unique high-relief scene inspired by Chinese folklore and performing arts. The designs include dynamic figures of dancers, acrobats, opera characters, and martial artists, shown in expressive movement with flowing garments, elaborate costumes, headpieces, masks, ribbons, weapons, musical instruments, and stylized clouds. Birds, decorative patterns, traditional architectural frames, and symbolic props enrich each composition. Select elements are enhanced with color, highlighting masks, costumes, and ornamental details that contrast beautifully with the polished silver background.

The reverse is unified across all four coins, depicting the official Beijing 2008 Olympic emblem at the center, surrounded by an ornate square frame with traditional cloud motifs. The inscription “Beijing 2008”, the Olympic rings, the year 2008, and Chinese characters identifying the People’s Republic of China complete the design, emphasizing the national and international significance of the Games.

Struck in silver with proof-quality finish, this complete Series III set stands out for its artistic depth, cultural symbolism, and Olympic heritage. It is an excellent addition for collectors of Chinese coins, Olympic memorabilia, and modern silver issues.
