| Additional information |
Issued eight years before the event it commemorates, this coin is part of a multi-year Chinese Mint program that released Shanghai Expo 2010 collector pieces beginning in 2002 — a marketing strategy that spread sales across nearly a decade of anticipation. The Shanghai World Expo ultimately ran from May to October 2010 and drew over 73 million visitors, making it the most attended world's fair in history at that time.
