Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 1 Fen (Hua Hsing Bank) 29 (1940) from Reformed Government of the Republic of China (Japanese puppet states in China) made of Silver is that it was designed by the renowned Chinese artist, Xu Beihong (徐徐悲徐悲鴻), who was known for his work in the style of Chinese traditional painting and calligraphy. Xu Beihong was commissioned by the Japanese occupying government to design the coin, which features a portrait of Sun Yat-sen on the obverse and a scenic view of the Yangtze River on the reverse. The coin was minted in 1940, during the Japanese occupation of China, and was intended to be used as a means of circulating currency in the Japanese-controlled regions of China. However, due to the limited mintage and the fact that the coin was not widely accepted by the Chinese people, it is now considered a rare and valuable collector's item.
