People's Republic gold Dragon & Phoenix Proof 200 Yuan (2 oz) 1990 PR69 Ultra Cameo NGC, KM320, Fr-B91. Mintage: 2,538. A superb representative of this vastly coveted series, depicting a flying phoenix descending upon a leftward-moving dragon. Each element of the design, including the Great Wall scene on the reverse, has been expertly frosted, and appears to float atop the surfaces due to the deeply reflective surrounding mirrors. Unsurpassed in grade at either NGC or PCGS.
