1June 979 15 The head office of the People's Bank of China instructed Shenyang Mint to design and try to cast Great Wall coins. On February 6, 65438, People's Republic of China (PRC) and the State Council officially approved the launch of the issuance of the Great Wall Currency. Great Wall coins have 1 yuan, 5 cents, 2 cents and 1 dime. The front is engraved with the national emblem of China, the country name and the year of issue, and the back is engraved with the famous ancient building of China, the Great Wall of Wan Li, and its denomination. The alloy part of the one-dollar coin is 8 1% copper, 19% nickel, 70% copper and 30% zinc. Great Wall coins are in circulation, and the number of issues is unknown. 1980, 198 1 should have a large circulation of Great Wall coins, which can be seen in the salary package of that year. From 1980 to 1986, China produced seven sets of Great Wall coins. Except for 1980, 198 1 and 1985, the output of coins circulating in the Great Wall in other years was not large, and production stopped after 1986.
Many people want to know the Great Wall Coin of 1986. Now, I will introduce some things I know. In addition to mass production of Great Wall coins, Shenyang Mint also produced five sets of annual refined Great Wall coins, including 80,000 sets of 7 sets of coins in 1980 and 23,400 sets of 7 sets of coins in198/kloc-0. The output of 8 sets of circulating coins in 1984 edition (including a year of the bronze rat) is 5750 sets, that in 1985 edition (including a year of the bronze ox) is 4825 sets, and that in 1986 edition (including a year of the bronze tiger) is 8 sets. At present, there are 8 refined sets of Great Wall coins produced by Shanghai Mint, including 198 1 version, 1982 version and 1983 version. The design and packaging of the 198 1 set of Great Wall Coin produced by Shanghai Mint are the same as those of the 198 1 set of Great Wall Coin produced by Shenyang Mint. 1982 and 1983 Great Wall coin sets are packaged in paper-shell plastic, while the 198 1, 1982 and 1983 Great Wall hardcover coins produced by Shanghai Mint have not been found, and the specific circulation is unknown. Map of Shenyang Mint 162 When introducing the graphic description of the version of 198 1, the text description is "198 1 7 sets of coins", but the pattern on the text is 8 sets of coins,198. The pictures and texts are different, I don't know why. In addition, there is a common 198 1 7 coin set in the market, and its outer packaging is the same as that of 1980 Great Wall coin set produced by Shenyang Mint. The author found that the set of coins should be refined coins, but the set of coins is ordinary currency; In addition, the package of this set of coins is obviously 198 1 year, but the year of this coin shows that this set of coins is marked with1980; These two questions make many coin collectors flinch. I hope the experts in this paper will give me a positive answer.
Great Wall coins are a rare story for coin collectors. At that time, many coin collectors spent a lot of energy to collect the 86 Great Wall, but failed to do so. Until 1996, the centennial celebration of Shenyang Mint, the circulation of this set of coins was only 660 sets. 1996 At the height of the postal market, a collector bought a set of 86 Great Wall coins for 35,000 yuan, and a Macao coin dealer offered him 654.38+10,000 yuan after hearing the news, asking him to transfer it, but this person was unwilling to sell it. In recent years, Beijing postal market has occasionally seen 86 Great Wall coins, and the transaction price is generally around 30,000 yuan.
The Great Wall hardcover coins issued in that year were mainly used for international exchange, and most of them were exported overseas, which was rare in China before. As the saying goes: Shi Sheng collects. Since the reform and opening up, the people of China have become richer, and the Great Wall hardcover coins have flown back to the motherland from all over the world and been collected by coin lovers.
