This coin is one entry in the long-running Chinese Gold and Silver Coin program dedicated to the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the 14th-century historical novel attributed to Luo Guanzhong. The series ran through the mid-1990s and drew heavily on the novel's cast of strategists and warlords rather than the underlying Han-dynasty history — a deliberate choice that favored cultural mythology over strict historiography. China's Gold Coin Corporation managed distribution, with much of the mintage directed toward overseas collector markets rather than domestic circulation.
Luo Guanzhong's authorship has never been definitively settled; some scholars attribute co-authorship to Shi Nai'an.
