In 2008 to celebrate the Beijing Olympic Games, the China Mint released a very special Limited Issue Weightlifting 150 Yuan Gold Proof Coin struck in solid fine .999 Gold and weighs one-third of an ounce of pure Gold Certified Slabbed and Graded by PCGS as PR70 DCAM.
A total of an estimated $42 billion were spent on the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, making it the most expensive games ever. China pulled out all the stops for their moment on the world stage. Never before has the world witnessed such intricate preparations for the Olympic Games or coins that match that effort in size, scale, detail and sheer beauty.
Considering the small mintages of these coins, the fact that these special commemoratives are a complete sell out in China, and the relatively small UK allocation of these coins, only a select few British will have the opportunity to acquire these magnificent works of art. With over 139 million coin collectors in the US alone, the small world allocation of these coins are fading fast! Don't be left in the starting blocks, get yours today before they disappear!
