附加信息
The Isle of Man's annual lunar series, running through the 1970s and into the 2000s under the Pobjoy Mint, was one of the earliest Western mint programs to systematically exploit Chinese New Year themes for collector markets. By 1999 the formula was well established: limited silver proofs alongside base-metal circulation strikes, targeting both thematic collectors and the considerable expatriate Chinese buyer base in the UK and Hong Kong.
KM#952a is the silver proof variant; the 'a' suffix distinguishes it from the cupro-nickel business strike issued concurrently.
