This specimen was lot 2519 in Sincona sale 83 (Zurich, May 2023), where it sold for 850 CHF (about US$1,138 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted, "CHINA Volksrepublik, 50 Yuan 1998, Shanghai Mint. Proof. Nur 8'000 Exemplare geprägt. Polierte Platte. Im Originaletui mit Zertifikat (Rare. Only 8,000 pieces struck, Choice Proof, In original box with certificate)." 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 one honors Zhou Enlai, Mao's closest lieutenant and participant in all of his crimes. Other fifty yuan for 1998 include KM 1129, 1140, 1156, 1160, 1169, 1170, 1179, 1187, 1192, 1193, 1193, 1195.
Recorded mintage: 8,000 proofs.
Specification: 15.55 g, 0.999 fine gold, 0.500 troy oz AGW.
