Description from the seller

Up for auction is a very rare "Proof" set from the People’s Republic of China for the year 1983, officially issued by the Mint (Shanghai/Shenyang) for the international collecting market. The set is complete and remains in its original plastic packaging, never opened.

The set comprises 8 pieces: 7 circulating coins in PROOF version: 1, 2, 5 Fen (Aluminium); 1, 2, 5 Jiao (Brass); 1 Yuan (Copper-Nickel). 1 Commemorative Medal: "Year of the Pig" (Lunar Calendar), located at the center of the set.

Condition:
Coins: "Gem Proof" condition. Never touched, stored in the Mint’s original protective plastic. They display the typical mirror-like shine with satin-relief.
Packaging: Includes the original card and the bilingual descriptive sheet (Chinese/English). The outer card shows light and natural wear to the back due to age, as visible in the photo, which does not affect the coins’ integrity.

A piece of great numismatic importance, highly sought after by collectors of modern Chinese series for its low mintage and historical significance.
