Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great political and social upheaval in China, specifically during the Chinese Civil War between the Nationalist Party (KMT) and the Communist Party of China (CPC). The coin's design and issuance were likely intended to promote nationalism and commemorate the sacrifices of those who fought for China's independence and unity.
