The Beijing International Coin Exposition (BICE) has issued official commemorative pieces annually since the early 2000s, with China's official mints producing small-run silver issues specifically tied to the expo's dates. The 2021 edition was complicated by COVID-19 restrictions that severely limited in-person attendance, making physical distribution of the coin more restricted than in prior years.
Mintage figures for BICE issues are typically modest by Chinese commemorative standards, and secondary market premiums tend to emerge quickly among domestic collectors.
