Interesting fact
The Pattern 1 Yuan coin from Republic of China (1936) made of Copper is interesting because it features a unique design that was never adopted as the official currency of China. The coin was part of a series of pattern coins minted in 1936 to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the founding of the Republic of China, but it was not widely circulated and is now considered a rare collector's item.
