This is the largest denomination coin in China's cyclical lunar gold series — 100,000 yuan face value, issued in an edition of just 30 pieces. At ten kilograms of .999 fine gold, it sits at the extreme end of what any sovereign mint produces for a bullion-commemorative program, and the People's Bank has issued analogous ultra-high-weight pieces for each zodiac cycle since the 1980s revival of the lunar series. The 30-piece mintage is not a marketing figure; production at this scale is genuinely constrained by die pressure tolerances and blank preparation at the Shanghai Mint.
