Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique combination of Chinese and Islamic influences in its design. The coin's obverse features the Chinese characters "中華民國" (Zhōnghuá Mínguó) meaning "Republic of China," while the reverse features an Arabic inscription reading "صنكيанг كاش" (Sinkiang Ka Shen Zao) meaning "Sinkiang Cash." This blend of cultures reflects the diverse history and heritage of the Sinkiang Province, which has been home to various ethnic and religious groups throughout its history.
