People's Republic gold Proof "Ancient Dragon Boat" 500 Yuan (5 oz) 1995 PR69 Ultra Cameo NGC,
KM-A823, Fr-124. Mintage: 99. Simply stated, perhaps one of the greatest modern rarities in existence today. With a total mintage of 99 pieces, one can be assured that most collectors will never realize even a chance to compete for one on auction, much less possess an example that is certified just one point shy of utter perfection. The devices are struck to precise definition, every tower brick, dragon scale, and outline clearly displayed and dressed in beautiful satin luster. The fields, of no surprise given the grade, are of equal caliber, showing profound reflectivity and only the most minor signs of any handling, hardly discernible and certainly not distracting. In summary, a giant of modern numismatics, one which could hardly be exceeded in its combined force of rarity, beauty, and preservation. Comes with original black case of issue and Certificate of Authenticity.
