The Mint says about this coin:

Imperial Art is a series of eight coins issued annually and dedicated to art, architecture and the achievements of the greatest civilizations and empires in history. Following the Mesopotamia coin of 2014, and Egypt coin of 2015, the newest issue features China and its world renowned landmarks. Struck from 2 oz silver 999 antique finish, the coin boasts an amazing decoration – a deep orange double-sided agate insert. With the mintage of only 500 pieces worldwide, the coin comes housed in a stylized wooden box with a certificate of authenticity inside. China is one of the world's four ancient civilizations, and the written history of China dates back to the Shang Dynasty (c. 1600–1046 BC), over 3,000 years ago. In art and philosophy, many people think, no culture has ever surpassed that of China in its great creative periods. In material culture, though we think of the roots of our own civilization as being almost entirely European, we have also received much from Asia—paper, gunpowder, the compass, silk, tea, and porcelain.
