| Additional information |
Issued to mark the seventieth anniversary of the Wuchang Uprising of October 1911, which toppled the Qing dynasty and ended over two millennia of imperial rule in China. The People's Republic producing a commemorative honoring the Republic of China's founding revolution was a calculated political gesture — Beijing has long claimed Sun Yat-sen's legacy as common ground with Taiwan, and this series was partly aimed at that audience.
The Shanghai Mint struck these in very limited numbers for the international collector market, making domestic circulation essentially nonexistent from the outset.
