Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique combination of Chinese and Soviet influences in its design. The coin's obverse features the Chinese characters "中華民國" (Zhōnghuá Mínguó), which means "Republic of China," while the reverse features the Soviet-style hammer and sickle symbol, reflecting the political ties between the two nations during the time period in which it was minted.
