Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 1 Chiao - Puyi (Kangde - Nickel brass pattern) 9 (1942) from Manchukuo is that it was designed by the Japanese occupiers during World War II as a replacement for the traditional Chinese cash coins. The coin features a unique blend of Japanese and Chinese design elements, with the obverse bearing the image of a phoenix and the reverse featuring a stylized Chinese character for "ten" surrounded by a wreath. Despite its historical significance, the coin was never widely circulated and remains a rare and valuable collector's item today.
