Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Chinese and Islamic influences in its design. The coin's obverse side features the Chinese character "卐" (mão) which means "money" or "currency", while the reverse side features a stylized Arabic inscription that reads "الدولة الصينية" (al-dawla al-siniyya) meaning "Chinese government". This blend of cultures reflects the rich history and diversity of Xinjiang, a region that has been a crossroads of different civilizations for centuries.
