Modern Chinese Varieties: 1994 Children With Cat Proof Silver 100 Yuan

This month's featured coin is the 1994 Children With Cat Proof S100Y. We previously covered a variety found on the S10Y denomination a couple years ago. The Proof S100Y coin can be found with reverse characters that are either near or far from the flower.

The pictures below are examples of the characters “near” the flower (Photos 1 & 2).
