Offered here is a rare part of my Chinese collections.
Own a rare piece of Chinese monetary history — a complete 3-coin set from 1960, 1961, and 1962, featuring authentic aluminium 2 Fen 贰分 coins from the early years of the People’s Republic of China.
--- 🧭 Historical Background: These coins were minted during a pivotal period in China’s modern history — the post-Great Leap Forward recovery and the early Cultural Revolution atmosphere. Produced by the People’s Bank of China, they reflect a time of rapid social and economic transformation under Mao Zedong's rule.
1960: A year of state-driven industrialization amidst national hardship.
1961: One of the rarest years for 2 Fen coins, minted in lower quantity.
1962: Recovery begins; this coin shows the best-preserved detail in this set.
Diameter: 20.5mm Minted by: People’s Bank of China
Each coin bears the denomination and the Chinese national emblem (Tiananmen Gate with five stars), surrounded by wheat ears — a symbol of socialist agriculture and self-reliance.
