The medal's obverse centers around a magnifying glass, a tribute to NGC's coin authentication, attribution and grading services. Within the magnifying glass are the dual dates of 1987 (the year NGC was founded) and 2017 (the year the medal was struck), along with the text 30TH ANNIVERSARY.
The magnifying glass' handle is inscribed with NGC. Around the perimeter of the obverse are the scales from NGC's logo (representing the company's commitment to impartiality) and the inscriptions NUMISMATIC GUARANTY CORPORATION and SHANGHAI MINT. The reverse depicts the skylines of the four cities where NGC has offices: Sarasota, Florida; Shanghai, China; Hong Kong, China; and Munich, Germany.A collaboration with the Shanghai Mint on the NGC 30th Anniversary Medal was a logical step for NGC, which has had a presence in China for more than a decade and has graded nearly 2,400,000 Chinese coins. In addition to offices in Shanghai, China and Hong Kong, China, NGC has a network of four Strategic Partners and five Official Submission Centers in China.
The NGC 30th Anniversary Medal was created by noted Chinese designer Luo Yonghui, who, during his decades-long employment at the Shanghai Mint, designed such distinctive coins as the 1989 10 Yuan Silver Panda. He also designed a 2012 high relief medal celebrating the 40th anniversary of the warming of relations between China and the US."NGC started from humble beginnings in 1987 as a small office in New Jersey that graded a thousand coins a week, " said Mark Salzberg, chairman of NGC. Thirty years and 39 million coins later, our reputation for accuracy, consistency and integrity has made us a global numismatic powerhouse, grading millions of coins each year.
