Comment
Type 1 and Type 2 differ from the style of the 'Fen'. These patterns are only known for Type 1.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 1 Fen (Pattern; 1st series; type 1; without hole) 5 (1916) from Republic of China made of Copper is that it features a unique combination of Chinese and Western design elements. The obverse side of the coin depicts a traditional Chinese dragon, while the reverse side features a modernistic design with the denomination "1 Fen" in the center, surrounded by a wreath of grains. This blend of traditional and modern styles reflects the cultural and historical context of China during the early 20th century, making it a fascinating piece for collectors and historians alike.
