Bank commemorative coins refer to the commemorative legal tender issued by the People's Bank of China, which is usually distinguished from ordinary circulating currency by specific themes, patterns, denominations, materials, specifications, etc. The appreciation space of bank commemorative coins mainly depends on the following factors:
Issuance: The smaller the issuance, the higher the scarcity and the greater the appreciation potential. For example, the commemorative coin issued in 1999 for Macao's return to the motherland has a circulation of only 200,000 pieces, and the current market price has exceeded 1,000 yuan.
Material: The more expensive the material, the higher the cost, and the greater the appreciation space. For example, in metal commemorative coins, gold coins generally have more room for appreciation than silver coins, and silver coins are higher than copper coins.
Theme: The more historical, cultural, artistic, scientific and technological value the theme has, the more it can attract collectors, and the greater the room for appreciation. For example, the commemorative coins of the Beijing Olympic Games issued in 2008, with themes covering China's traditional culture, ethnic customs, sportsmanship, etc., have now doubled their market price.
Condition: The better the condition, the more exquisite the preservation, and the greater the appreciation space. For example, a brand new commemorative coin that is not in circulation is generally worth more than an old commemorative coin that is worn out.
To sum up, the appreciation space of bank commemorative coins is determined by a variety of factors, different commemorative coins have different appreciation potential, collectors should choose the right commemorative coins according to their interests, budget, knowledge, etc., and pay attention to the protection of the quality of the commemorative coins, in anticipation of future appreciation.
