| Additional information |
The 9th Asian Winter Games were held in Harbin in February 2025 — the city's second time hosting, having previously staged the event in 1996. Harbin's selection was uncontested, partly a product of China's existing winter sports infrastructure built around the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics push.
The 5g silver format places this squarely in China's small-denomination commemorative program, which has issued coins at this weight and fineness since the early 2010s for events the mint deems of regional rather than global significance.
