| Additional information |
China's lunar silver series has long operated on a tiered structure, with the 150g colored issues occupying the top of the bullion-commemorative hierarchy — produced in strictly controlled mintages and distributed almost entirely through authorized banks and state philatelic agencies rather than open retail. The 2020 Rat issue marks the beginning of a new 12-year lunar cycle, which typically drives above-average collector demand at the point of first release.
KM#2344 is frequently encountered still sealed in its original People's Bank packaging, suggesting most examples passed directly from distribution channels into storage.
