The set includes one gold coin, one silver coin and one platinum coin, all legal currency, the People's Bank of China (PBOC) said on its website.

The front side of each coin features a combination of the expo logo and the Great Wall, along with the country name and year of issuance, the PBOC said.

The 30-gram silver coin and the 3-gram platinum coin, with face values of 10 yuan and 100 yuan, will also have the expo's Chinese name and plant decorations on the reverse sides, but with patterns of the International Pavilion and the expo mascot, respectively.
