This specimen was part of lot 12119 in Ponterio sale 177 (Chicago, August 2013), which sold for $3,819. The catalog description[1] noted, "CHINA. Two Piece Proof Set & Brass Medal, 1981. Lunar Series, Year of the Cock. 3 pieces in lot. Includes: 30 & 250 Yuan, and a 33 mm brass medal which features the same obverse design of a standing cock as the regular issue coins. The medal is NGC MS-69, the other (2) are NGC PROOF-69 ULTRA CAMEO." The Chinese government has, since the mid 1980's, produced a mind boggling array of bullion related collectibles. A complete set is thousands of types yet buyers clamor for more. This specimen realized over double the already substantial catalog value.

Recorded mintage: 5,015.

Specification: 8.00 g, 0.917 fine gold, .235 troy oz AGW.

Catalog reference: Fr-B60; KM-41.
