Beautiful addition to the He Zi series
The running script calligraphy on this 2013 coin is exquisite. The details are sharp and the luster is fantastic for a circulation commemorative. Highly recommended for anyone collecting the full set.

Good value for the series
While not made of precious metal despite the category listing, it is a valuable part of the cultural series. The brass alloy has held its shine well over the years.

Excellent quality control
I have bought several of these for my collection. The strike quality from the Shenyang Mint on this specific year is consistently high. No scratches or bag marks visible.

Perfect gift for calligraphy lovers
Bought this as a gift for my father who loves Chinese calligraphy. He was thrilled with the Running Script design. It looks even better in person than in the photos.

Great design, minor packaging issue
The coin itself is stunning and arrived in perfect condition. The only reason for 4 stars is that the protective capsule was slightly loose in the box, but the coin was unharmed.
Q: Can I still spend this 5 Yuan coin in stores?
A: Yes, it is legal tender in China with a face value of 5 Yuan. However, most collectors prefer to keep it in uncirculated condition due to its commemorative value.
Q: Is the protective capsule included in the sale?
A: Yes, each coin comes fitted in a clear, hard plastic protective capsule to prevent tarnishing and handling damage.
Q: What is the difference between this and the previous He Zi coins?
A: This is the third installment in the series, featuring the character 'He' written in Running Script. Previous issues featured different calligraphy styles such as Seal Script and Clerical Script.
Q: Does this come with an official certificate of authenticity?
A: As a standard circulation commemorative coin, it typically does not include a separate paper certificate. The coin itself is issued by the central bank and is legal tender.
Q: Is this coin made of real gold?
A: No, this is a circulation commemorative coin made of brass alloy. Although listed under a broad 'Gold' category for collectibles, it does not contain precious gold metal.
