Interesting fact
The Pattern 1 Yuan coin was designed by the famous Chinese artist, Xu Beihong, who was known for his work in the style of Chinese traditional painting. Xu Beihong's design for the coin features a peaceful unification theme, with two dragons and a phoenix on the obverse, and a landscape with a mountain and a river on the reverse. The use of pewter as the material for the coin was a deliberate choice to symbolize unity and harmony, as pewter is a metal that is often associated with peace and tranquility. I hope you find this fact interesting!
