| Additional information |
Part of the Yellow River Culture series issued through the late 1990s, this piece belongs to a five-coin program commemorating the civilizations that developed along the Huang He — long treated in Chinese historiography as the cradle of Han Chinese culture. The 1997 release focused on mythological figures associated with the river itself, drawing on pre-Han folk traditions that the state had been systematically repackaging as national heritage since the 1980s.
