Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Pattern 10 Cash coin from Republic of China made of Gold is that it was designed to commemorate the founding of the Republic of China by Yuan Shikai in 1912. The coin features an image of Yuan Shikai on one side and the National Emblem of the Republic of China on the other. The coin was never officially released into circulation, but it was minted in small quantities as a pattern coin, making it a rare and valuable collector's item.
