Chinese Coins

These coins continue to be issued for limited usage today. Following the economic reforms of the 1970s, higher denomination coins such as 1, 2, and 5 jiao (10, 20, 50 fen), and 1 yuan coins were issued for limited circulation. The first jiao- and yuan-denominated coins to be circulated on a large-scale basis were issued in the 1990s. 1 day ago  This Lunar Year of the Ox commemorative coin blends elements of traditional British design with ancient Chinese culture and is designed by Harry Brockway – the man behind the design of the 2019.

• Chinese Coins have something to offer whether you are looking for a long term addition to your collection or a few more bullion coins to stack. One of the main things that Chinese coins are known for is their beautiful finish, even on regular bullion coins. Of all the coins that are minted in China, the most popular is the Chinese Silver Panda.
• Most of the Chinese coin books or websites are in Chinese characters. In addition, many commemorative coins have very interesting historical backgrounds or legendary stories, which are not provided by many websites. Our ambition is to make China-mint.info the most completed information site for Chinese modern coins.
