| Aanvullende informatie |
The 1992 Chinese Lunar Gold series was produced by the People's Bank of China at a moment when the country's bullion coin program — launched just over a decade earlier with the Gold Panda — was still establishing its international footing. The 5 oz lunar issues were struck in comparatively small numbers and distributed primarily through foreign dealers and Hong Kong intermediaries rather than domestic retail channels.
KM#434 is among the scarcer weights in the 1992 monkey set. The monkey cycle carries particular weight in Chinese numismatic demand given the zodiac's cultural significance, and first-cycle issues from the 1980s and early 1990s consistently attract premium attention on the secondary market over later repetitions.
