2005 Year of the Rooster China 1/2oz Gold Fan Coin
2005 Year of the Rooster China 1/2oz Gold Fan Coin
Item # 1801844
In 2000, China introduced a revolutionary new series of silver coins celebrating the Chinese New Year. Each coin features the year’s unique zodiac animal symbol… and the coins are the first in the world to be made in the shape of a traditional Chinese fan. This 2005 issue honors the extremely popular Lunar Year of the Rooster! The reverse of each year's coin depicts a different section of the Great Wall of China – the only man made structure which is visible from outer space! The obverse depicts the Lunar animal for 2005, the Rooster.
The mintage of each year’s Gold Fan coins is strictly limited to only 6,600 worldwide, and each coin is struck in a unique fan shape from ˝ oz. of pure .999 fine gold. Each is certified to be in Prooflike condition. The choice of the fan shape symbolizes over 3000 years of Chinese history and tradition, as well as creating one of the most coin shapes in modern history!
We have secured a very small group of these coins, but quantities are limited to stock on hand. This coin sells for as much as $1000 elsewhere, but you can save nearly $200 if you act now!
