After more than a decade, China is releasing newly patterned coins. Starting Aug. 30, new coins of 1 yuan, 0.5 yuan, and 0.1 yuan, will be released and in circulation. Smaller one yuan coins are designed to be more portable, while the colour of a five jiao coin changes from gold to silver.

For the 1-yuan coin of the 2019 edition, the typeface of the denomination numeral on the obverse is adjusted, with the floral pattern on the reverse scaled down proportionately.

Major elements remain unchanged as those of the 1999 edition, including coin shape, edge features, flower design, “the People’s Bank of China” in Chinese characters and Pinyin, denomination in Pinyin, and monetary unit.

 

The diameter of the coin is reduced from 25mm to 22.25mm.
