Fancy box

If you follow me you know that I detest the People's Republic of (Communist) China.

 

And so did my late dad. Yet my father didn't mix politics into his collection hobby. At some point I didn't know when or how but he came across this 1949-1979 30th Anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China 22K four-coin set.

 

Each 22K gold coin contains 0.50 troy ounce of gold content. The four coins depict the seal of Communist China on the obverse side and the following on the reverse side.

 

1) Tiananmen Square

2) People's Heroes Monument

3) Chairman Mao Memorial Hall

4) Great Hall of the People

 

Look closely at the gold coins and you will notice that China back in 1979 was not very refined when it came to casting gold coins. The details of the gold coins are quite lacking.

 

I do not know how coomon this coinset is, or whether it is only worth the two ounces of gold.
