China
People's Republic gold Proof "Wei Qi" 50 Yuan (1/2 oz) 1995, Shenyang mint, KM744, Cheng-pg. 172, 4, CC-696. Mintage: 1,200. Inventions & Discoveries - Series IV. Stemming from a notably difficult set of issues, with the Gold & Silver Coins of China Standard Catalogue suggesting that while these Series IV coins had a planned mintage of 1,200 pieces, as few as 373-383 were actually struck per type (this Chinese Chess piece carrying a figure of 375); in fact, we have not sold an example since 2013.
