People's Republic gold "Year of the Dragon" Proof 500 Yuan (5 oz) 1988 PR69 Ultra Cameo NGC, Shenyang mint, KM199, Fr-B65, Cheng-pg. 53, 2, CC-164. Mintage: 3,000. Lunar series. A breathtaking specimen of this large gold issue, certified just shy of perfection and limited only by the most trivial and minute imperfections. Certainly worth of its assigned "Ultra Cameo" designation as the depth of the mirror appears endless, supported starkly frosted dragons motifs in celebration of the lunar year. Sold with the original box of issue and COA numbered "001163."
