| Additional information |
Issued as part of China's long-running literary classics gold series, this kilogram piece commemorates *Outlaws of the Marsh* — one of the four canonical novels of classical Chinese literature, attributed to Shi Nai'an and set during the Song dynasty's Huizong reign. The People's Bank of China began issuing coins in this series in 1987, and the kilogram denomination has consistently attracted institutional buyers and domestic collectors rather than circulating in any practical sense.
Mintage on kilogram issues in this series typically ran in the low hundreds, and 2011 production figures for this specific piece are not widely published in Western references — KM#1869 documentation in standard catalogs remains sparse on that detail.
