People's Republic gold Proof "Year of the Rat" 150 Yuan 1984 PR68 Deep Cameo PCGS, Shenyang mint, KM94, Cheng-pg. 23, 4, CC-64. Lunar series. Mintage: 2,248. One of the key issues of the highly collectible Lunar series, featuring full night-and-day cameo contrasts with just a small copper spot at the rat's belly.

Sold with COA #152.
