This is one of the largest coins ever produced by the People's Bank of China — a 10-kilogram gold issue from the lunar series that had been steadily escalating in scale since the program's launch in 1981. By 2011, the mint was producing these megaformat pieces for institutional collectors and sovereign wealth displays rather than anything resembling circulation. Mintages for this tier are typically in the low double digits.
