China
People's Republic gold Proof Dragon & Phoenix 200 Yuan (2 oz) 1990 PR68 Ultra Cameo NGC, KM320, Fr-B91. Mintage: 2,538. A remarkable example of this popular 2 ounce gold issue with vividly-depicted images of a dragon and phoenix. Stellar contrast between the jet-black mirrors and sun-kissed, satin-drenched devices hold the eye, while the reverse elements provide an equal amount of excitement upon viewing. Fine wisps located in the fields are likely all that keep this massive specimen from attaining a flawless designation.
