People's Republic 2-Piece Certified gold & silver Pattern "Dragon & Phoenix" Proof Set 1989 PR69 Ultra Cameo NGC,
1) silver 5 Jiao - KM-Unl., Cheng-Unl., CC-287B
2) gold 10 Yuan - KM-Unl., Cheng-Unl., CC-286B
Immense rarities among modern Chinese numismatics, especially so when coupled together as seen here, featuring two of the most recognizable symbols to grace the country's coinage. Certified on the edge of perfection with nary a visual detractor to dilute the prominently contrasted "Dragon & Phoenix" motifs, for which the series is named, these specimens remain virtually unrivaled, with none graded finer. Despite their statures as the smallest denominations of the series, their impact is undeniable and historically fascinating. The series was originally slated to be released in 1989, but given difficulties in meeting production deadlines during a tumultuous year, the series release was delayed to the following year. According to reports, a small handful of 1989-dated issues were produced and erroneously included in the official shipment in 1990. This offering presents a truly scarce opportunity to own two of the most sought-after modern Chinese coins, for the first time unreserved, and will inspire fervent bidding. Accompanied by a presentation case and historical pamphlet. From the Fred Weinberg Collection
