| Additional information |
Issued to mark the 90th anniversary of the Communist Party of China's founding in 1921, this commemorative was part of a broader series of state-issued pieces timed to major Party milestones. The CPC was founded in Shanghai in July 1921, with fewer than 60 members at its first national congress — a detail the Party's own official histories have periodically revised.
Mintage figures for this type were never publicly disclosed by the People's Bank of China, which is routine for commemorative brass issues of this period.
