| Additional information |
Part of China's long-running Auspicious Culture series, which draws on traditional Han iconography tied to fortune, longevity, and celestial cycles. The People's Bank has issued thematic gold pieces in this vein since the 1980s, typically in limited runs targeting both domestic collectors and overseas Chinese communities. Annual mintage figures for this series are not independently audited, which has historically made secondary-market pricing volatile relative to comparable sovereign gold issues.
