| Additional information |
The Bank of Beijing was established in 1996 through the consolidation of 90 urban credit cooperatives operating across the capital — a messy reorganization that reflected Beijing's broader effort to rationalize a fragmented municipal lending sector ahead of the pressures that would come with WTO accession. By 2016, it had grown into one of China's largest city commercial banks by assets. This commemorative issue marks the bank's own anniversary rather than a state institution, a category of Chinese gold commemoratives that tends to see modest distribution through the issuing bank's own channels rather than broader numismatic retail.
