Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 1 Yuan (Szechuan-Shensi Soviet; "Fat Man dollar"; countermarked) ND (1934) from Republic of China made of Silver (.890) weighing 26.40 g is that it was issued during a time of great political and economic turmoil in China. The Szechuan-Shensi Soviet was a short-lived communist state that was established in 1933 and was eventually suppressed by the Nationalist government in 1935. The coin was likely minted as a form of propaganda to promote the ideals of the communist state and to undermine the legitimacy of the Nationalist government. Despite its origins, the coin remains a valuable collector's item and a fascinating piece of Chinese history.
