People's Republic gold Proof "Fu, Lu, & Shu" 100 Yuan 1993 PR69 Ultra Cameo NGC, Shenyang mint, KM508, Fr-75, Cheng-pg. 136, 2, CC-475. Yin & Yang - Series II. Mintage: 888 (planned). A fleeting rarity of the modern Chinese series, struck to commemorate the Ying & Yang philosophy and featuring the Chinese stellar gods Fu, Lu, and Shu, also known as the Sanxing. This scarce type was struck in a mintage of only 888 examples, an amount specifically selected because of the number 8's association with good luck and fortune. Richly decorated in golden frost across the design motifs, these completely contrasting against mirrored fields that appear jet-black when viewed head-on. Preserved at the cusp of technical perfection and certified accordingly.
