Rare 1985 China "Great Wall" 1 Yuan – PCGS MS65 (Wide Date Variety) ​Up for auction is an exceptional numismatic treasure from the People's Republic of China: a 1985 "Great Wall" 1 Yuan, certified and graded MS67 by PCGS. This specific coin features the highly coveted "Wide Date" variety (Sun-B21a2), making it an elite addition for collectors of modern Chinese coinage. Unlike the incredibly common 1981 Great Wall Yuan—which saw a massive mintage exceeding 75 million pieces—the 1985 business strike series is vastly scarcer, with a total mintage of only around 4.1 million across all varieties. When factored down to the distinct "Wide Date" subtype, the population drops exponentially, offering immense scarcity leverage over its 1981 counterpart. The coin boasts striking visual appeal with its original mint luster, crisp, sharp details on the Great Wall brickwork, and subtle, elegant peripheral toning that enhances its historical charm. The Great Wall series (1980–1986) represents a foundational era of modern Chinese circulating commemoratives. Due to its short production window and aggressive domestic melting in past decades, high-grade examples of the 1985 variety are rapidly disappearing from the market. Secure this certified rarity to elevate your Asian numismatic portfolio. A true centerpiece coin with great upside potential. Bid with absolute confidence! "
