Interesting fact

The 1 Yuan coin from Yunnan Province, minted during the Xuantong era (1909-1911), features a unique design on its reverse side. Instead of the traditional Chinese dragon or phoenix, the coin features a stylized image of a mature bamboo stalk, which is meant to symbolize longevity and prosperity. This design was specifically chosen to reflect the cultural and economic significance of bamboo in Yunnan Province, where bamboo was a vital resource for everyday life and industry.
