| Additional information |
The All-China Federation of Returned Overseas Chinese was established in 1956 as the primary state organ for managing relations with the roughly 30 million ethnic Chinese then living abroad — a population Beijing viewed simultaneously as a diplomatic asset and an ideological liability during the Cold War. By 2016, that diaspora had grown to an estimated 60 million, making the Federation's institutional role considerably more complex than its founders envisioned.
This issue belongs to a well-defined category of PRC commemorative gold: small-denomination pieces struck in modest quantities for the collector and gift market rather than any circulating purpose, typically distributed through the China Gold Coin Corporation.
