| Aanvullende informatie |
The "Dayuan" designation references the ancient Chinese kingdom of Ferghana, known to Han dynasty sources as 大宛 — a realm prized above all for its "heavenly horses," the tall, sweat-bloodied Ferghana breed that Emperor Wu dispatched two costly military expeditions to obtain in 101 BCE. Perth's lunar series has long targeted Chinese collector markets, and the Ferghana allusion is a deliberate piece of numismatic flattery aimed squarely at buyers who would recognize it.
The .9999 fineness — four nines — was adopted by the Perth Mint in the 1980s to undercut competitors on purity claims. At 3.111 g, this is a one-tenth troy ounce piece.
