Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 10 Cash (Urumchi; type 1) 6-7 (1929-1930) from Sinkiang Province made of Copper is that it features a unique blend of traditional Chinese and Soviet influences in its design. The coin's obverse features the Chinese characters for "10 cash" and "Sinkiang Province," while the reverse features a stylized image of a worker and a peasant, surrounded by agricultural tools and symbols of industry, all set against a backdrop of a rising sun and a waving flag. This design reflects the coin's issuance during a time of political and economic upheaval in China, as the country was transitioning from a imperial dynasty to a republic, and the Soviet Union was exerting increasing influence over the region.
