10 Yuan Mid-Autumn Festival

China's Mid-Autumn Festival silver series, issued annually by the People's Bank of China since the 1980s, draws on the legend of Chang'e — the moon goddess whose story has been retold across Chinese literature for over a thousand years. The 2001 issue falls midway through what collectors now treat as a complete run, making gap-fillers of any single year harder to source than the series bookends.
