| Additional information |
The People's Liberation Army traces its founding date to the Nanchang Uprising of August 1, 1927 — a Communist-led mutiny against Nationalist forces that failed militarily within weeks but was retroactively enshrined as the birth of the Red Army. This coin marks the 80th anniversary of that event. The PLA anniversary series has been a recurring fixture in Chinese commemorative coinage since the reform era, with the 60th issue in 1987 being among the first modern Chinese silver commemoratives to attract serious international collector attention.
