Description

One of Only 15 Examples Struck

People's Republic gold Proof Scalloped "Year of the Rooster" 10000 Yuan (Kilo) 2005 PR67 Ultra Cameo NGC, Shenyang mint, KM1604, CC-1447, Cheng-pg. 333, 1. Lunar series. Struck from a minuscule mintage of just 15 pieces total in commemoration of the "Year of the Rooster." Among the rarest modern issues of China we have yet handled, only two other examples besides this one have been certified; both by NGC and only one achieving as high of a grade evaluation as this. Both faces relinquish exquisite renderings upon an alluring, scalloped kilo planchet, the obverse with a bronze rooster and the reverse boasting a more realistic, higher relief rooster, each beautifully composed and fully struck up. A monumental piece for any collector of modern Chinese gold and one certainly deserving of advanced consideration. Stamped "No. 011" on edge and accompanied by the COA #0011.
