Posted on 6/14/2016

This is the 17th installment of our monthly column featuring modern Chinese varieties.

This month we will feature the 1994 Silver 20 oz 150Y Unicorn coins. These coins can be found with two different cloud variations on the obverse. The first variety (pictured below) exhibits the cloud curling left just below the bottom most foot of the Unicorn (Photos 1 & 2).
