Modern Chinese Varieties: 1995 Zhang Qian Gold 50 Yuan Proof

Posted on 6/9/2015

This is the fifth of our monthly articles featuring newly added modern Chinese coin varieties.

This month’s featured coin is the 1995 Zhang Qian Gold 50 Yuan Proof. There are two varieties of this coin that show a difference in size of the “50” in the denomination on the reverse of the coin.

The first variety exhibits a small version of the 50 on the reverse. NGC will now denote this as SMALL 50 (Photos 1 & 2).

The second variety exhibits a larger version of the 50 on the reverse. NGC will now denote this as LARGE 50 (Photos 3 & 4).

These two coins share a common obverse as shown here:

Next month we will feature the 1993 Two Peacocks 20 oz Silver 150 Yuan Proof varieties.
