The unknown episode of the issuance of "Ryoma Spirit" gold and silver coins
Ancient Chinese legend: Mo Ruolong the Heaven Walker, Mo Ruoma the Walker of the Earth. Dragon horse refers to the legendary horse, which has the advantages of both dragon and horse, and is considered to be the spirit of the Yellow River and the incarnation of the descendants of Yanhuang.
In 1991, the Fred Weinberg Coin Company in the United States proposed to carry forward the spirit of Ryoma and applied for the issuance of a set of "Dragon Horse Spirit" gold and silver coins. The project was shelved after the central bank approved the trial minting of the 1991 Ryoma Spirit 2-ounce gold and silver sample, and it was not until 1992 that the Longma Gold and Silver Coin developed and underwritten by the coin company was officially issued.
The year of issue was changed from 1991 to 1992, in order to reduce costs and facilitate sales, 2 ounce gold coins were changed to 1/4 ounce gold coins, the face value was changed from 200 yuan to 25 yuan, and the diameter was changed from the original 40 mm to 22 mm.
Its front pattern follows the front pattern of the 1990 version of the dragon and phoenix gold and silver commemorative coin, and the overall concept also continues the pattern of the dragon and phoenix commemorative coin, which is very exquisite. #Ryoma Spirit ##龙马金银币 #
