This coin is part of a continuing Chinese commemorative series drawing from classical literary and folkloric sources — a program the People's Bank of China expanded aggressively through the 1990s and 2000s as collector demand for themed silver issues grew in both domestic and export markets. KM#1491 corresponds to one installment in the Folk Fairy Tales sequence, which across its run drew from stories rooted in Han oral tradition, some with written antecedents reaching back to the Tang and Song dynasties.
Mintage on individual issues in this series varied, but production controls kept numbers modest relative to the broader Chinese panda issues of the same period.
