Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1949 Sinkiang Province 1 Yuan / 1 Dollar (Type 2) silver coin is that it was minted during a time of great change and turmoil in China. The coin was produced in the midst of the Chinese Civil War, which saw the Communist Party of China (CPC) and the Nationalist Party (KMT) vying for control of the country. The coin's mintage was likely intended to help finance the war effort and support the local economy in Sinkiang Province, which was a strategic region in northwest China. Despite the challenges of the time, the coin's silver content and intricate design have made it a sought-after collector's item today.
