| Additional information |
The 2010 Asian Games in Guangzhou were the largest edition of the Games to that point, with 45 nations competing across 476 events — a scale that prompted the Chinese government to authorize an unusually broad commemorative coinage program spanning multiple metals and denominations. This 100 Yuan piece is part of that authorized series, struck in 2009 ahead of the November 2010 event.
Guangzhou's selection as host marked the first time the Games returned to China since Beijing in 1990.
