1997 1/10 oz Chinese Auspicious Matters 10 Yuan Gold Coin PCGS MS 69
Celebrate traditional Chinese symbolism with the 1997 1/10 oz Chinese Auspicious Matters 10 Yuan Gold Coin PCGS MS 69, available from Bullion Exchanges. Struck from 1/10 troy oz of .999 fine gold, this beautifully detailed commemorative combines precious metal content with a meaningful design centered on prosperity and good fortune. The coin carries a legal tender value of 10 Yuan, measures 18 mm in diameter, and has a limited mintage of only 100,000 pieces. This exceptional example has been professionally certified by PCGS as Mint State 69 (MS 69), indicating a superbly preserved coin with only minimal imperfections. Securely encapsulated in an official PCGS holder, this high-grade Chinese gold coin makes an attractive addition to both world coin and precious metals collection.
Issued in 1997 as part of China's Auspicious Matters theme, this gold coin celebrates symbols deeply rooted in Chinese culture. Its centerpiece is a young child embracing a large carp while surrounded by blooming lotus flowers. The carp has long been associated with abundance, prosperity, perseverance, and good fortune in Chinese tradition. This symbolism is reinforced by the linguistic connection between the Chinese word for fish, yú (鱼), and a word associated with surplus or abundance. Carp also hold a special place in Chinese folklore, where their strength and determination are represented by the famous legend of a carp overcoming the Dragon Gate and transforming into a dragon. Combined with the lotus, traditionally associated with purity and harmony, the imagery gives this small gold coin a rich cultural meaning beyond its precious metal content.
