1989年一圆沉阳造币厂。宣称发行量1,000枚。PCGS及NGC仅共评出25枚，此枚为最高分，另有7枚同分。中华人民共和国成立四十週年纪念。为迎接1989年10月1日国庆节，中国人民银行授权中国印钞造币总公司製作铜镍合金纪念币。此币正面主体为中空的"40"字样，内嵌五星和太阳光辉，和平鸽环绕，上方为中文"中华人民共和国成立四十週年"，下方为国歌《义勇军进行曲》部分章节五线谱及年份1949-1989。背面为国徽及人民大会堂，礼花绽放，面值"一圆"及日期1989。据证书所载，这些纪念币发行于1989年国庆日的两日之前，即9月28日。孙克勤在《中国现代流通硬币》一书中提出，此币发行量为1,000枚，但许多现代币专家学者均认为其实际发行量远少于此。虽然实际发行量无从得知，但考虑到评级机构记录的数量极少，市面一币难求，这些精製纪念币也并未公开发行而只是授予了高阶官员和重要人士，此币当属极其珍罕，是藏家趋之若鹜的对象。本拍品体现了当时铸币的最高标准，无氧化、朦胧或起雾。CHINA. Yuan, 1989. Shenyang Mint. NGC PROOF-69 ULTRA CAMEO。KM-220; Sun-J14b; Shen-pg. 198-199. Purported Mintage: 1,000 pieces. Tied for finest certified with 7 other examples at either NGC or PCGS with a combined total of only 25 examples graded between them. Struck to commemorate the 40th Anniversary of the Founding of the Peoples Republic of China. In preparation of the 40th Anniversary on October 1, 1989 the Peoples Bank of China authorized the China Mint Company to produce current commemorative coins struck in copper-nickel. The obverse is composed of an abstract national emblem within the "40", with peace doves above and below, excerpt from the national anthem "March of the Volunteers" below with date "1949-1989" in exergue, Chinese inscription "中華人民共和國成立四十週年" (Zhōnghuá rénmín gònghéguó chénglì sìshí zhōunián [The 40th Anniversary of the Founding]) above. While the reverse depicts the national emblem flanked by decorative fireworks, the Great Hall of the People below, denomination "壹圆" (Yī yuán [One Yuan]) and date in exergue. According to the certificate of authenticity these issues were released on September 28, 1989, just two days before the official anniversary. Though Sun Keqin states in "中国现代流通硬币" (Zhōngguó xiàndài liútōng yìngbì[Chinese Modern Circulating Coins]) the proofs had a mintage of only 1,000 pieces, many scholars of the modern series believe the actual mintage is significantly less. The exact number struck is unknown, but is believed to be a very limited quantity. Considering how few are listed on the population reports, frequency of appearance in the market place and the sheer fact that the proofs were not released to the general public, but were given to high ranking officials and dignitaries, all of the proofs of this issue should be considered EXTREMELY RARE, highly sought after and coveted. With certificate of authenticity and box of issue. A magnificent example made to the highest standards free of tone, haze or fog。
