Diameter 100mm (plum blossom shaped) Fineness 99.9 % (pure gold) Quality Proof Weight 1 kilogram Face value 10000 Yuan Mintage 15 pieces This coin, with its artistic shape, deeply reflective fields, and lovely golden-frost devices is a true visual treat.  The gold is free from toning, and the entire surfaces appear just about perfectly preserved. This is the type a coin you would like to buy and just hold on to it for a decade or two.  It really has so much going for it.  First, there are over 1.2 billion Chinese citizens, so one would have to assume there will always be a pool of buyers willing to purchase a coin as rare as this one.  Second, this coin is just about as scarce as they come--only 15 were minted.  Third, it contains over 32 troy ounces of pure gold.  And, finally, this coin is just as much a piece of art as it is a coin.  It is like something you would only expect to find in a museum.  In fact, there will likely come a day when the only place you could see a coin like this is at a museum. The packaging is also commendable.  The coin comes protected inside a hard plastic capsule that is sealed inside a clear plastic sleeve.  A highly polished, classy-red mahogany box with gold-colored lettering houses both the coin and certificate.  A white cardboard box with gold print stores the wooden box. The entire presentation is quite impressive. Good Luck!  2209 Please Note:  The Winning Bidder For This Item Will Need To Pay Via Bank Wire.
