| Additional information |
This 10-kilogram gold piece was part of China's Lunar Series bullion program, but at this weight it functions less as a coin than as a vault asset — produced in tiny quantities and sold directly to institutional buyers and high-net-worth collectors through state channels. The People's Bank of China issued these as legal tender largely for prestige and foreign exchange purposes, with face value bearing no relationship to gold content.
Mintage for the 10 kg Lunar issues rarely exceeded a few dozen pieces worldwide.
