Interesting fact
The Pattern 1 Yuan coin was designed by the renowned Chinese artist, Xu Beihong, who was known for his work in the style of traditional Chinese painting. Xu Beihong's design for the coin features a portrait of Sun Yat-sen, the first president of the Republic of China, on the obverse, and a scene of a dragon and a phoenix on the reverse, symbolizing the peaceful unification of China. The coin was minted in 1924, but it was never officially released into circulation, making it a rare and highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
