Interesting fact
The ½ Yuan 38 (1949) coin from Kweichow Province is interesting because it was minted during a time of great change in China. In 1949, the Communist Party of China (CPC) led by Mao Zedong came to power, and the country began its transition from a republic to a socialist state. The coin, made of silver, features the national emblem of China on one side and the denomination and year on the other. It was circulated during a time when the country was undergoing significant economic, political, and social reforms, and its design reflects the changing values and ideologies of the era.
