| Additional information |
Issued to mark the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics, which made China the first country to host both a Summer and Winter Games — Beijing having previously held the 2008 Summer Olympics. The People's Bank of China has produced commemorative Olympic issues since 1980, but the color-printed gold series introduced for the 2022 games represented a technical departure, applying fine enamel or ink overlay directly to .999 gold blanks prior to striking.
Mintage for individual denominations in this series was capped at 20,000 pieces.
