Description

This 2016 medal variant commemorates the PCGS 30th anniversary with both the David Hall signature and a Guojin insert, indicating this version was produced for or distributed in the Chinese numismatic market. PCGS expanded aggressively into the Chinese collectible coin market during the 2010s, establishing grading offices in Shanghai and Hong Kong. The Guojin insert indicates this medal was adapted for PCGS's Chinese operations, reflecting the growing importance of the Asian market to American numismatic businesses. Commemorative medals serve as primary historical documents, recording events and honoring individuals in a format that was often produced closer to the actual occurrence than published histories or official records. The dual signature/insert format creates a distinctive variant collected by both American and Chinese numismatists.
