Shenyang mint, CC-737-748. Mintage: 25 sets. An extremely rare complete 1995 Unicorn set that seldom becomes available, this being only the second complete set we have offered in nearly 13 years. While most of the individual coins carry low to moderate mintage figures--with the gold 500 Yuan being the key rarity (the last example of which in PR69 Ultra Cameo hammered for $36,000 in August 2019)--what is truly remarkable is the exceedingly small number of sets produced, of which the current offering is number 7. The set is sold in its original black padded case of issue with COA.
