Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1949 Sinkiang Province 1 Yuan / 1 Dollar (Type 1) silver coin is that it features a unique reverse design that showcases the province's rich cultural heritage. The reverse side of the coin depicts a stylized representation of a traditional Uyghur musical instrument, known as a "dutar," which is a type of long-necked lute that is still played in the region today. This design element serves as a nod to the diverse cultural traditions and artistic expressions of the people of Sinkiang Province, and adds to the coin's historical and numismatic significance.
