CHINA. Twelve Piece Platinum 100 Yuan Set, 1988-99. Lunar Series.
Fr-B71; KM-197, 236, 287, 365, 430, 513, 645, 749, 923, 1008, 1143, & 1233. 12 pieces in set. A RARE and difficult to assemble set of all the pieces struck in platinum thus far for the famed Lunar Series. Each coin has a denomination of 100 Yuan, is one ounce of pure platinum and shares its obverse design with its gold counterpart of that year. Beginning with the 1988 Year of the Dragon issue and continuing for each year of the next twelve year lunar cycle, these special issues were struck in proof alongside the normally seen gold and silver pieces. With its deeper gray sheen, the platinum gives a greater contrasting cameo effect between the brilliant fields and frosted devices of these designs and is quite pleasing to the eye. This set is accompanied by ten mint issued certificates of authenticity, lacking them for the 1989 Year of the Snake and 1990 Year of the Horse issues. A gorgeous set to behold for collector's of this much beloved coinage series and anyone with an appreciation for the modern coinages of China. Certainly an excellent addition to any collection. A largely high grade set with only a few pieces not up to the same level as the rest. Specifically the 1990 Year of the Horse is graded NGC PF 66 ULTRA CAMEO and the 1994 Year of the Dog and 1995 Year of the Pig are each NGC PF 68 ULTRA CAMEO, all other pieces are
1988-99 年100元。生肖系列。鉑幣十二枚。
稀少而很難組合的一套由鉑金製作的生肖幣。每枚的面額是100元,重量一盎斯鉑金,正面設計與同年度的黃金生肖幣相同。從1988年龍年開始連續十二年,同時有金及銀的發行。深層次的灰色光澤,使鉑幣的浮雕效果更加突出,令人賞心悅目。隨付十張原廠證書,缺少的是1989蛇年及1990馬年。這是中國現代幣非常受歡迎的品種。多數得到很高的評分,只有幾枚稍低。特別的是1990馬年的NGC PF 66 ULTRA CAMEO、1994狗年及1995 豬年都被NGC評到 PF 68 ULTRA CAMEO。 NGC PROOF-66 ULTRA CAMEO.
