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 "Xin Sheng Ka Zao" (新生开造), which translates to "New Life Begins," while the reverse features a stylized representation of a Soviet-style tractor, reflecting the Soviet Union's influence on China's economy and industry during the 1920s and 1930s. This blend of Chinese and Soviet elements makes the coin a fascinating piece of numismatic history.
