Interesting fact
The Pattern 1 Yuan coin was designed by Cao Kun, who was a prominent Chinese politician and military leader during the Republic of China era. He served as the President of the Republic of China from 1923 to 1925, and his image appears on the obverse side of the coin. The coin's design was meant to symbolize the new Republic of China and its commitment to modernization and progress. However, the coin was never widely circulated and is now considered a rare collector's item.
