Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Pattern 1 Chiao - Puyi (Kangde - Brass pattern) 9 (1942) from Manchukuo (Japanese puppet states in China) made of Brass is that it features a unique blend of Chinese and Japanese design elements. The obverse side of the coin depicts a portrait of Puyi, the last emperor of China, while the reverse side features a traditional Chinese dragon surrounded by Japanese characters. This blending of cultural motifs reflects the complex political and cultural dynamics of the time, when Japan was seeking to exert its influence over China and create a puppet state. Despite its historical significance, the coin is relatively rare and highly sought after by collectors, making it a valuable addition to any numismatic collection.
