Year 2002: Horse Fan-Shaped Chinese Silver Coin

This is the key-dated to the series for no real reason (to me, given the same mintage). I do not know its issue price but its current price is 5-fold of the rest of the series though in recent months, I see a very slight decline in price. The obverse depicts the Tianjin Huang Ya section of the Great Wall (天津长城黃崖关口). The reverse has the same two running horses as the 1 kg version of the round lunar series. Similarly, I do not own this coin because I have yet to feel compelled or have the impulse to pay 5-fold or 20 times premium over spot.

Specifications:
1 oz 99.9% finess
Face value - 10 Yuan
Mintage - 66,000

Price range (shipped): S$507 - 535
NGC PF69 Ultra Cameo: S$534
