| Additional information |
Issued to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, the body that formally negotiated the founding of the People's Republic in September 1949. The CPPCC had been convened by the Communist Party as a broad coalition of political parties and mass organizations — a deliberate gesture toward multi-party governance that was, in practice, tightly controlled from the outset. By 1999, it functioned as an advisory institution with no legislative authority.
China's commemorative 1 yuan circulation issues of this period are frequently found uncirculated in original rolls, hoarded immediately upon release.
