Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Chinese and Arabic influences in its design. The Arabic legend type and solid rays on the coin reflect the Islamic cultural heritage of the Sinkiang Province, while the Chinese characters and the use of Copper as the material reflect the country's rich history and tradition. This coin is a fascinating example of cultural exchange and diversity in currency design.
