| Additional information |
The Bank of Beijing was established in 1996 through the consolidation of 90 urban credit cooperatives operating across the capital — a merger that was less a seamless integration than a forced rationalization of a fragmented, undercapitalized sector the central government had grown impatient with. This coin marks the institution's first decade, issued at a moment when Chinese municipal banks were aggressively expanding balance sheets ahead of tighter Basel-aligned regulations that Beijing knew were coming.
Struck in the same year the bank began preparing for its 2007 Shanghai Stock Exchange listing — its IPO would become one of the largest domestic bank flotations of that decade.
