| Additional information |
Yang Zhi is the eleventh coin in China's long-running Outlaws of the Marsh silver series, which the People's Bank of China launched in 1997 drawing from the classical Ming-dynasty novel Shuihu Zhuan. The series ran across multiple issuing years and consistently attracted strong domestic collector demand, partly because the 108 heroes of the novel gave the mint an almost inexhaustible character roster. Annual mintages were capped at 10,000 pieces, keeping secondary market premiums firm throughout the run.
