Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 10 Cash - Kong Fanjin (Tianshui) ND (1928) from Kansu Province (Chinese provinces) made of Brass weighing 6.49 g is that it features a unique combination of Chinese and Western design elements. The obverse side of the coin features the Chinese character "寶" (bǎo), which means "treasure" or "precious," while the reverse side features a stylized image of a dragon, which is a common motif in Chinese culture. However, the dragon is depicted in a more Westernized style, with a streamlined body and wings that resemble those of a bat. This blending of cultural influences makes the coin an interesting example of the cultural exchange and fusion that occurred during the Republican period in China.
