| Additional information |
The Shanghai Mint, established in 1920 under the Beiyang government, reached its 90th anniversary in 2010 after surviving a history that included Japanese occupation, Kuomintang control, and nationalization under the People's Republic. Self-commemorative issues from Chinese state mints occupy an odd corner of the market — more institutional keepsake than mainstream numismatic release — and mintages are typically tight, distributed largely through the mint's own channels rather than the broader People's Bank distribution network.
