| Additional information |
Issued under the People's Bank of China's long-running auspicious culture commemorative program, which has produced silver issues tied to traditional Chinese festival themes and folk customs since the early 2000s. Mintages for these series are set centrally and allocated through state-controlled distribution channels, meaning secondary market premiums often bear little relationship to actual scarcity — demand from domestic collectors consistently outpaces official allotments.
