Interesting fact
The 1998 People's Republic of China Year of the Tiger Platinum 100 Yuan coin has a unique feature - it has a frosted tiger's head, which gives the appearance of a real tiger's fur. This was achieved through a special minting process that created a textured finish on the coin's surface. This feature, combined with the coin's platinum composition and limited mintage, makes it a highly sought-after collector's item.
