| Additional information |
Issued for the 1999 lunar new year cycle, this kilogram gold piece belongs to China's prestige bullion program that the People's Bank of China expanded aggressively through the 1990s as foreign exchange reserves grew and the mint sought high-value export markets in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and overseas Chinese communities. Mintages on these large-format kilo pieces were tightly controlled — typically in the low hundreds — making secondary market appearances genuinely infrequent.
The Shenzhen Guobao Mint and Shanghai Mint both contributed to China's lunar series during this period, and attributing specific strikes to one facility without documentation is unreliable.
