| Additional information |
China's 2008 Olympic commemorative program was one of the largest in the history of the Games, with the Chinese Mint issuing dozens of gold and silver pieces across multiple series tied to specific sports. Wrestling received its own denomination within that program, a deliberate choice given China's strong Olympic wrestling tradition — the country had won gold in Greco-Roman and freestyle events at Athens in 2004. The sheer volume of issues from this program kept secondary market premiums modest almost immediately after release.
