China 1 yuan Chinese Olympic Committee Wrestling PR67 PCGS brass coin 1980

The China 1 Yuan Chinese Olympic Committee Wrestling brass coin, 1980, is a dynamic commemorative issue that captures the spirit of athletic competition and national symbolism through detailed medallic art. Struck in brass with Prooflike quality, this coin combines sport, architecture, and emblematic imagery in a balanced and expressive composition.

The obverse depicts two wrestlers engaged in an intense grappling pose at the center. Their muscular bodies are shown in motion, with bent legs, extended arms, clenched hands, and clearly defined torsos conveying strength, balance, and physical discipline. Above the athletes appears a group of interlocking rings, symbolizing international sport. In the background, a traditional multi-tiered architectural structure rises vertically, adding depth and cultural context. To one side, a standing human figure is visible, rendered in a static pose that contrasts with the action of the wrestlers.

The reverse features a central national emblem framed by a circular wreath composed of detailed grain ears. Above the emblem, five stars are arranged in an arc, while below the central motif decorative scrolling floral ornaments fill the lower field. The composition is symmetrical and formal, with polished fields that contrast against the frosted relief elements. A raised rim completes the design and enhances the medal-like appearance.

Certified PCGS PR67, this brass coin is an appealing collectible for those interested in sports themes, Olympic history, and Chinese commemorative issues.
