One of two very cute and cuddly Panda pieces acquired from a Chinese Mint represented at the ANA Show in San Francisco in 2005. Both the Great Wall and the Panda are uniquely emblematic of China and are considered national treasures. China has effectively used pandas as gifts to foreign zoos to stimulate deeper contacts and improve relations, as their gift of two Pandas to the National Zoo in Washington D.C. proved to be effective during the Cold War. China’s pride in this unique wildlife ambassador is currently now being matched by their efforts to restore the Panda’s threatened population. The latest inventory of the Panda population conducted by the Chinese government found the number of giant panda in the wild has increased from 1,100 in 1988 to more than 1,590 today. The present rapid growth taking place in China now promises both greater interest in these amazing creatures and some new challenges as people’s views of their native habitat change.

Capture the legendary image of Kong forever with this Brilliant Uncirculated coin, a true treasure in New Zealand film history. When King Kong arrived on screens in 1933, the tale of the gigantic gorilla was hailed as one of the first great special effects science fiction adventure epics. The gorilla was brought to life through the art of stop motion photography, an effect that was groundbreaking for its time. Tiny models were adjusted a mere fraction between each frame of film and the resulting animation was terrifying to its 1930’s audience and to the future generation of fans that followed. In 2005, it is the wizardry of computer animation that brings Kong to life once more. Behind the scenes the movements of actor Andy Serkis, who studied gorillas in Africa in preparation for his role, were transformed into the fearsome figure of Kong by the team at Weta Digital. The resulting 25-foot beast marks a breathtaking new era in Kong’s reign over movie screens.
