| Additional information |
Issued to mark the PRC's 70th anniversary on October 1, 2019, this coin was released alongside one of the largest state-organized celebration programs in Chinese history, including a military parade through Tiananmen Square involving over 15,000 troops and 160 aircraft. The People's Bank of China coordinated the numismatic release as part of a broader commemorative series that included gold, silver, and base-metal denominations issued simultaneously.
Domestic demand for official anniversary issues of this type consistently outpaces mintage allocations, with coins frequently selling above face value through state-authorized channels on release day.
