Issued as part of China's 1994 Olympic commemorative program ahead of the Atlanta Games in 1996, this coin belongs to a series the People's Bank of China produced in consistent annual runs throughout the 1990s targeting the international collector market. Chinese silver commemoratives from this period were struck in relatively controlled mintages compared to contemporaneous issues from Western mints flooding the same market.
