Interesting fact

The 2008 Weightlifting 1 Yuan coin from the People's Republic of China is unique in that it features a design that is not typically found on coins. The reverse side of the coin features a stylized weightlifter in mid-lift, with the weights and barbell rendered in a sleek, modern style. This design was intended to convey the strength and power of the Chinese weightlifting team, which has been a dominant force in international competitions for many years. The coin's design is not only visually striking, but it also serves as a symbol of China's commitment to athletic excellence and its pride in its athletes' achievements.
