Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted in 1922, during a time of great political turmoil in China, as the country was transitioning from a monarchy to a republic. Despite the upheaval, the coin still bears the image of Sun Yat-sen, the first president of the Republic of China, on its obverse side. This highlights the coin's connection to a significant moment in Chinese history.
