Year 2005: Rooster Fan-Shaped Chinese Silver Coin

As I write this, the 2010 Tiger version has been issued. By far, this is my favourite design of the series, excluding the Rabbit. The frosted background of the rooster side is beautiful and the strike of the rooster has high relief. The obverse depicts the Ju Yong Gate (居庸关) section of the Great Wall - a section quite different from the rest of the years.

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

Obverse:


Reverse:

Price range (shipped): S$68 - 117
