Description from the seller
LOT OF 2 CHINA COINS (2 FEN - 5 FEN)
______________________
1. CHINA. 2 Fen. 1979.
- Value: 2 Fen.
- Year: 1979.
- Inscriptions: Obverse: 中华人民共和国. Reverse: 2 贰分 1979.
- Grade: MS68 (NGC).
Coin of 2 Fen issued by the People’s Republic of China. The obverse features the national emblem of the People’s Republic of China, surrounded by the legend with the country’s official name. The reverse shows the facial value “2 贰分” framed by two ears of wheat, with the date “1979” at the bottom, following the characteristic design of the circulating series issued since the 1950s. The specimen stands out for its extraordinary condition, with bright original luster, perfectly defined relieves and virtually immaculate fields, qualities fully in line with the high grade MS68. These small aluminum coins were minted for everyday circulation during the early period of the economic reforms led by Deng Xiaoping and constitute a series highly valued in high grades.

2. CHINA. 5 Fen. 1998.
Value: 5 Fen.
Year: 1998.
Inscriptions: Obverse: 中华人民共和国. Reverse: 5 伍分 1998.
Grade: PF68 CAMEO (NGC).
Coin of 5 Fen minted in Proof quality. The obverse features the national emblem of the People’s Republic of China surrounded by the legend with the country’s name, while the reverse shows the face value “5 伍分” flanked by ears of wheat and the date “1998”. The specimen exhibits the characteristic Cameo contrast between the frosted reliefs and the highly reflective fields, with superb sharpness, very clean surfaces and excellent brilliance, fully in keeping with the PF68 CAMEO grade. These Proof issues were produced for collectors in limited quantities and represent the continuation of the classic design of China’s fractional coins with a high-quality presentation finish.
Disclaimer: For orders shipped outside the European Union, I want to be absolutely clear that I do ship from Spain, which means that if the package is sent to any country outside the European Union, and/or inside the EU that has a special tax agreement (example: Canary Islands), it might be stopped in your local customs and they might ask you to pay taxes. This is a customs legal procedure and it is completely out of our control. Thanks for your understanding.
