It is high relief. The plaster model will post this week or next. Hopefully the medal will complete soon. The first pattern medal high relief is not up to our quality standard so we demand mints to refine it.
Okay. I could not determine from the drawings you posted if they were high relief or not. The molds will hopefully give a better indication of the structure.
Was the artist trying to convey any message with the dysmorphic large Panda in relation to the surroundings? At times such designs are made to convey a "larger than life" attribute to the subject. Reminds me of the size of the 2013 Expo Panda in relation to the size of the medal itself. Do you know if the Panda side was designed by the same artist as the 2013 Expo Panda?
I guess you will give us more information on the designers, their thought process and the message they wish to convey through their design. I look forward to seeing the actual medals.

It is in pricepedia. I am not sure of his book. Even no date publish for the 3rd edition of his panda book.
The panda monkey box and coa have been done. I will publish next week. No big diff with the panda goat. It is red color box. No fancy wooden box as others western coins. Wooden box will increase production cost and shipping cost which will end up customer to pay more. Lol so we decide no wooden box for this case.

Yes, you can get it from luckpawnshop, and it may take 2 to 3 weeks to come from China. If you're in the U.S., and you order from chinesemedals.com, you'll get it in about 3 days, with signature. I think that is the better way to go if you live in the U.S. But we do appreciate KOT keeping everyone abreast on where you can buy this fine medal, which is apart of a great series. :lol:
