China issued a sprawling commemorative program for the Beijing 2022 Winter Games — the first city to host both Summer and Winter Olympics — releasing multiple coin sets across different denominations and metals. This brass 5 Yuan piece belongs to the circulating commemorative subset, meaning it was produced for general release rather than collector packaging, though hoarding at point of issue was essentially guaranteed.
The People's Bank of China authorized the series under the same legislative framework it has used for Olympic issues since 2008.
