| Additional information |
Beijing Normal University traces its founding to the Imperial Capital Normal College established in 1902 under the Qing dynasty's late educational reforms — making it one of the oldest teacher-training institutions in China and predating the Republic itself by nearly a decade. The 2022 commemorative falls in a long series of Chinese silver issues marking university centenaries, a program that began gaining momentum after similar coins for Peking University and Tsinghua drew strong secondary-market interest among alumni collectors.
Mintage for university commemoratives in this series is typically capped at 30,000 pieces by the People's Bank of China.
