This impeccable Chinese gold coin was one in a series struck to raise funds for UNICEF.
To mark the twentieth anniversary of the 1959 Declaration of the Rights of the Child, the United Nations General Assembly declared 1979 as the International Year of the Child, in which UNICEF played a leading role.
The International Year of the Child aimed to raise awareness about the rights and well-being of children worldwide and to promote their welfare.
The Franklin Mint marketed two series of gold and silver coins on this theme - 12 gold coins and 30 silver coins. The Chinese coins in each of these sets are incredibly sought-after, and very difficult to obtain in premium condition.
Just one example of the gold 450 Yuan in known in PR70DCAM, this example is a hair's breadth away from that.
