| Additional information |
China's lunar gold series was already well-established by 1993, but the Rooster issues from this year are notable for a production split between the People's Bank and authorized minting facilities that created minor but documented die variations across the mintage. The 1993 run coincided with Beijing's aggressive push into the international bullion coin market, partly in direct competition with the South African Krugerrand and the American Eagle programs.
Collector premiums on this date have historically tracked higher than adjacent years in the series due to relatively constrained mintage figures for the one-ounce denomination.
