The 35th Anniversary of PRC coin set contains three of 1984’s commemorative coins. A ￥1 coin Chairman Mao on Tiananmen, a ￥1 coin Dancers and a ￥1 coin Huabiao (a type of ceremonial columns used in traditional Chinese architecture). The obverse of each coin in the set features National emblem. This is the first common commemorative coin set in China.
In addition, there are unique attributes about the coin set. For example, the coin set was divided into Shenyang version and Shanghai version and the quality was divided into BU and Proof. In total, there are four versions for this coin set. Moreover, although it consists of 3 coins, the circulation is not the same. For example, more than two million ” Chairman Mao on Tiananmen” coins have been issued while the circulation of ” Dancers ” and ” Huabiao ” coins was 8 to 9 million. This is not common for a coin set.
In fact, over a long period, it was generally believed that all the Funding of PRC proof coins were made in Shenyang mint. Until one day when this coin set has been in circulation for more 20 years, a new version suddenly appeared, the main features of which were almost the same as the Shanghai Version. And the market defined it as the Shanghai version of the proof coin set. Because the Shanghai version coins are very rare, it becomes a newcomer among the circulated commemorative coins, and the value soars too.
