| Additional information |
The Long March — the 1934–35 strategic retreat of the Red Army covering roughly 8,000 miles across some of China's most punishing terrain — became the founding myth of the People's Republic, and the PRC has issued commemorative gold on each major decimal anniversary since the 1980s. The 2016 eightieth-anniversary series was produced by the China Gold Coin Corporation under authorization of the People's Bank of China, with strictly controlled mintage figures typical of the modern Chinese commemorative program.
Collectors should note that the .999 fine standard used here distinguishes it from earlier Long March issues struck to .9999, a minor but catalogable compositional shift.
