The largest public collection of modern Chinese gold coins in the US will go on display at a coin collectors' show in Los Angeles, California, next month.

Visitors to the American Numismatic Association's World's Fair of Money convention will be able to view a wide array of large Chinese gold coins ranging from five to 32.15 ounces each, according to World Coin News.

Among the highlights of the collection are 1992 proof gold commemorative coins weighing 1kg each depicting the 12 animals of the Chinese lunar new year cycle, of which just 21 were made.

Nicholas Brown of Majestic Rarities said that the collection will represent "the most amazing display of modern Chinese coins ever seen in the US".

The convention will take place at the Los Angeles Convention Centre between August 5th and 9th and will showcase coins produced by 15 mints across four continents.

One of the main highlights of the show will be the first gold coin to be produced in the US, the EBon-breast Brasher Doubloon.
