| Additional information |
Part of the People's Bank of China's ongoing auspicious culture series, which draws on traditional Chinese cosmological and folkloric symbolism to target both domestic collectors and the overseas Chinese gifting market. The 3g .999 gold format — identical in specification to several other PBC small-denomination issues of this period — was deliberately chosen to keep retail pricing accessible while maintaining gold content as the primary value driver.
