For a long time, the actual mintage of modern gold and
silver coins has been reached based on a combination of market availability
and data like early factory records and annuals of official mints. After the
Rongli Culture Research Institute (“Rongli Institute”) was organized, China
Gold Coin Incorporation provided it with strong support and valuable
information, including some data on actual mintage. After further
communications with China Gold Coin Incorporation, it was learned that the
following considerations delayed the release of actual mintage information:
first, the People’s Bank of China has strict regulations on information regarding
Renminbi. The People’s Bank of China publishes bulletins on mintages when gold
and silver coins are released. As a result, China Gold Coin Incorporation is
required to seek approval from the People’s Bank of China before such data can
be disclosed; secondly, China Gold Coin Incorporation discovered significant
divergence between much of its data and those published by the mints. The
Rongli Institute is publishing a small amount of actual mintage data which have
been verified as accurate, to answer some long time questions from collectors.
There is still a lot of data to be verified by China Gold Coin Incorporation
with the mints. Hopefully, after some
time, China Gold Coin Incorporation will release to all of us actual mintage
numbers which are authoritative, accurate and systematic.
