China's lunar gold series operates on a strict annual rotation, but the 150 yuan face value denomination sits at an awkward middle tier — too low a nominal value to function as currency, yet priced well above spot at issue. The 2017 Rooster marks the first year of a new twelve-year lunar cycle, which historically drives stronger initial demand and tighter secondary market premiums in the series.
Struck at the Shenzhen Guobao Mint, one of several facilities the People's Bank authorizes for lunar issues rather than routing all production through the main Beijing or Shanghai mints.
