| Additional information |
Gold-plated base metal issues from the People's Bank of China in this period were produced primarily for the domestic gift and commemorative market, not numismatic collectors. The 2013 series coincided with aggressive expansion of China's commemorative coin program under state-owned China Gold Coin Corporation, which flooded retail channels with plated pieces that carry no legal tender weight in practice.
Mintage figures for plated issues of this type were rarely disclosed with the precision applied to pure gold strikes.
