Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1909-1911 Xuantong ND 1 Yuan coin from Szechuan Province is that it features a unique blend of traditional Chinese and Western design elements. The obverse side of the coin bears the image of a dragon, which is a symbol of power and good luck in Chinese culture, while the reverse side features a stylized image of the Chinese character for "yuan," surrounded by a wreath of flowers. This blend of traditional and modern design elements makes the coin a fascinating piece of numismatic history.
