Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 1 Fen - Puyi (Kangde) 12 (1945) coin from Manchukuo 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 history of Manchukuo, which was established by Japan as a puppet state in northeastern China during World War II.
