Interesting fact

The interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the Planting Trees Festival, which was a significant environmental initiative in China in the 1980s and 1990s. The coin's design features a tree planting scene on the obverse and the national emblem of China on the reverse. The coin's mintage was relatively low, with only 20 million coins produced, making it a sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
