| Additional information |
China and France established diplomatic relations in January 1964 — the first Western European nation to do so with the People's Republic, a move that infuriated Washington and was personally engineered by de Gaulle as a deliberate assertion of French independence from American foreign policy. The decision was made without consulting NATO allies and caused a genuine rupture in transatlantic relations at the height of the Cold War.
The 7.776g weight is not incidental — it equals exactly one-quarter troy ounce, placing this squarely within China's standard commemorative gold coin architecture for the period.
