People's Republic gold Proof "Sun Yat-sen" 100 Yuan (1 oz) 1993, Shanghai mint, KM535, Cheng-pg. 135, 2, CC-492. An exceedingly scarce modern issue despite a fairly robust and auspicious planned mintage of 8,888, and one brought to market outside of China once every few years. Struck to commemorate the "Father of China" and displaying the sensitively rendered portrait of Sun Yat-sen graciously coated in frost, lending to the coin's full cameo appearances. Sold in the original mint packaging that will surely entice the specialist in modern Chinese numismatics.
